Subject: RAID1: What happens when one half of a mirror fails?
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 10:24:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200506301024.13126.eric@pretorious.net> (raw)

Hello, All:

I've been a bit surprised by the complete failure of our system when one half 
of a mirror failed so I suppose that I should verify that I understand 
RAID1's failover methodology: Is the purpose of the mirror only to preserve 
the data or is it to allow the system to continue operating until a 
replacement can be installed? (i.e., If one half of a mirror fails, shouldn't 
the system continue operating normally?)
