RAID advice

Your RAID failed. What should you do first?

RAID failures are often made worse by rushed rebuilds, missing configuration notes, and repeated experimentation. If the data is business-critical, calm triage matters more than guesswork.

ImportantDocument the symptoms, stop random changes, and avoid rebuild attempts unless you are sure they are safe.
01

Capture the state

Record errors, drive order, controller details, and recent events before anything changes.

02

Avoid ad hoc rebuilds

Some rebuild attempts help, but the wrong one can make a recoverable case much harder.

03

Prioritize the right outcome

Sometimes the best move is preserving recoverability and business data, not rushing into action.
