I was copying files for 2 days. I don't think its a big deal that it took twice as long to rebuild under usage like that. I know exactly what will be on the RAID, so I know exactly what I have at stake.
Certainly I would want it to rebuild, but I could use your arguement for every extra GB I put on it. What you really want me to do is max the thing out and then unplug one drive. - I could do that I suppose, but I have other constraints to work under. I have seen the thing rebuild after a real, not simulated problem. It performed well.

there is some serios doubt from blue68f100 and myself that the 300 or 320 GB drives work properly in a 4000 in RAID 5.

I don't want to pick a fight or come across wrong, and that's easy to do in text even with these
, but how serious is it really? Is there
any reason to believe that it might not rebuild? Has it happened before? I can't take seriously the claim that it takes a long time therefore something (undefined) is wrong. If there is a real reason to believe this, then lets hear it.

there is some serious speculation that the 4000 has some OS limit for the array and may not be capable of properly restoring the array.

Ok, lets hear it, what is the limit and how was that number determined? Since my data could depend on this I am very interested.
