(I'm sending this mail since erwin@freebsd.org is on vacation). It seems the European side of ftp.freebsd.org suffored a double disk failure during the weekend and this means we lost all data on the mirror. At first only disk was showing up as missing but the controller reported the RAID failed. We replaced the disk, and then a second disk showed up as missing. We're currently replacing the second disk. However this leaves us with no other options than building the RAID from scratch, doing a newfs and resync all data from ftp-master. I'll keep ftpd disabled until we're back in sync. We are continously monitoring the state of the RAID (using nagios) but got no warning of a failed disk, so I fear the first disk might have failed silently since two disk failures in 5 minutes (time between nagios polls) is highly unlikely. Regards Jan
