Hey all,

I bought a used 2000 v2 model (quantum) a few years ago and it's been great for me. Last week I had a failure and I"m having a hard time figuring out if any of this is recoverable. The disk has two 190 db drives in it in a mirror setup. I did this precisely to have a safe place to keep things should a disk fail.

Here is a copy of the status page from the admin ui:

From what it looks like, one of the disks failed but I was having a hard time figuring out which one it was. I got a replacement drive, same make/model/everything. I replaced what I thought was the bad drive and on boot it seems likt the unit is in a continual reboot state. I can only connect to the admin UI very briefly and then the machine stops responding to pings entirely.

After a bit I decided that maybe I replaced the wrong disk. So I put the one I took out in place of the one I left in. This time the unit came up and showed my new (empty) disk and one disk that had "unknown disk operation" errors. This made me think I had the wrong disk so I went back to the other one only this time I changed which drive was connected to which IDE channel. I get the same continual reboot problem.

I'm a bit lost at this point and was hoping one of you could shed some light on the issue. Here's the machine's current specs:

Model Software Hardware BIOS
2000 series 4.0.860 (US) 2.0.0 2.0.282

Here is a link to a copy of the server log before I removed the faulty disk.

THanks for any help you can offer!
