Try the media error count.

If it is more than
about five or ten...

[Nils]
Call me an amateur, but I'm fairly
sure 3,662 isn't a good number.

[Jaakko]
I think you know which
disc you are swapping.

Later...

[Nils]
What do you MEAN, "failed stripe"?

All the discs are working.
The discs ARE the stripes.

[Jaakko]
Ooh, a new
and exciting
form of error.

[Nils]
Jaakko, you are Not Helping.

Time to swap ANOTHER disc and
rebuild the array AGAIN.

[Panel 3]

Even later...

[Nils]
...but it's STILL
saying "failed stripe".

And claiming the array
is "optimal", but when
I test it the filesystem
self-destructs.

[Jaakko]
It is time to throw away the
array and build it afresh.

[Nils]
I have backups, but I thought RAID meant
you weren't supposed to have to do this!

[Jaakko]
This is clearly a better form
of RAID. None of that tedious
data integrity nonsense.

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
...Jaakko, are you sober?

[Jaakko]
Since I cannot share the Murphy's
you will be drinking the
moment you finish up there...

[Nils]
You could, you know. I could
pour it into the keyboard. That
would get you to shut up.

[Jaakko]
Nils, it is YOUR LAPTOP.
