Well the first thing to say on this would be: think about how different the RAID threads would have been had myself or Chris not used RAID. In Chris' case, his one lost disk would have meant a loss of his data; in my case the RAID appears to have mirrored some filesystem corruption between two disks. So for Chris, RAID has saved his bacon, and for me it's wither helped or made no difference - it certainly hasn't made things worse.
Supplementary question. The mdadm FAQ says:
"When I do mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0 there's this line that shows up somewhere in the listing: Events : 0.xyz . I've crawled the net for documentation about it, but I have no clue what the number represents."
But it gives no answer. My queries show various "events" numbers. Should I be concerned?
