A drive in the array of VPS4 Node dropped off the array last night and the array needed to be rebuilt (there was no downtime). The array is now 100% optimal again.
All drives in the array are showng as healthy but the errors in the logs are indicating the drive cables may need replaced.
As a precaution we are pulling the server off line to replace the SATA cables. Downtime will be 15 minutes but unfortunately this server has had a long continuous uptime so the operating system is likely to force a standard FSCK (file system check) upon reboot. We deem this maintenance of high enough importance to complete it now as a failed cable could potentially place data at risk so it is prudent to replace right away.
Any questions we are on the helpdesk or live chat.
