I'm RAID 5 on my home server for the same reasons as OG - I also run every OS as a VM under esXi I will never go back to dual booting and having separate hardware for different OS's

RAID 5 is definitely dodgy, and not just because of the rebuild time - another disk can fail during the rebuild. For all my RAID 5 clients, I insist on a hot spare, a cold spare, and a complete replacement set from a different source. Hey - nothing wrong with paranoia! 
I am slowly moving my clients to RAID 1 + 0, but they keep asking "What's it gonna cost?". I refer them to a KPMG survey that showed that 85% of companies that suffered a massive critical data loss go belly-up within two years (and another 10% within three years).

No backup! EEK! 
Atleast you can keep on running your DB on one of the mirror disks, right?
Please tell me you have a mirror!

Yes I have a mirror, but I'm kind off worried about that one too (though it doesn't seem to have errors, yet)

If it's the same type of disk, bought at the same time, there's a chance it's from the same batch.
And if so, yes, you should worry.
I would pre-emptively buy another replacement disk from another shop (to get another batch) and swap the other disk too as soon as possible

A couple of years ago we had a major outage that effected the business for a couple of days, I can't remember exactly which bit of kit it was, but we had two of them, chatting away, if one of them failed then the other would keep us working so we could get it fixed.
That was the theory anyway.
So a component failed in one, it was able to tell its mate what the problem was as it shut down.
It's mate thought to itself "I don't want that to happen to me" and shut down too.
Whenever we brought the second back up it said "Bugger off, I don't want to die" and shut down again.
I didn't think that was a wonderful piece of design.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I love the certainty in the message: "...expected in less than 24 hours."
Would have been nice to have given you guys that message, maybe, 24 days ago.

So we have it like 2 years and every half a year someone pops-up to check if everything is in order...Yesterday it was the first time I was in office when he came to inspect - he had only one comment: 'coffee is good here'...
Now you can imagine how good ISO is  ...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Coffee inspection according to ISO2058666, what did you expect?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Well imagine what would have happened if coffee was bad ? 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
|
|
|
|
|
If coffee was bad , they will not come again anymore .

The inspector would have left even earlier and wouldn't come back so soon?

To both of you

{

{

Last I checked, coffee quality wasn't one of the ISO 9000 criteria - though it wouldn't surprise me

I assumed following equation:
Coffee + ISOGuy = Recertification
Coffee =^ good
=> good + ISOGuy = good ISO GUy => Recertification > 0 && Recertification < 1
Now two cases:
bad mood <= ISO Guy <= good mood
Coffee = bad => ISO Guy ^= bad mood => Recertifaction = -1
Coffee = good => ISO Guy ^= good mood => Recertification = 1
See what i mean?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

You're missing one input parameter there. Let me put it this way:
Your ISO 9000 compliance sucks: You better have good coffee
Your ISO 9000 compliance is alright: You can serve him a gnat's piss
Your fixation on the coffee parameter makes me suspicious about your ISO 9000 compliance

FTFY
To be ISO compliant you have to fill a lot - really lot - of papers during work. When they told us that we have to work with ISO I told they have two options: me or the paperwork. I have far to much work (including paperwork) to add more, useless, to it...So I wrote a small application that fakes all the paperwork you ever need for ISO

I see... then how about this iteration:
Your ISO 9000 compliance is alright: You can serve him a gnat's piss and keep the good coffee for yourself

Why do I get the feeling he omitted the 'Atleast ...' 
|

Wrong! There was no 'atleast' - he didn't got out of the coffee corner...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
