Re: Too much hard drives failing

The fact is that this failures are coming up right after we decided to
move to reiserfs.

Can 7 out of 20 hard drives be defective (yes, of course, but what is
the % probability for this)?
Can this anyhow be related with reiserfs?

You might want to check the power in your datacentre. I have come across an issue where servers in a particular rack failed a lot, particularly the hard disks. An in depth investigation of that particular rack revealed a faulty power strip in that rack.
