Maintainability Observations
Scenario: administrator accidentally removes and replaces live disk in degraded mode
- double failure; no guarantee on data integrity
- theoretically, can recover if writes are queued
- Windows recovers, but loses active writes
- journalling NTFS is not corrupted
- all data not being actively written is intact
- Linux will not allow removed disk to be reintegrated
- total loss of all data on RAID volume!
