the drive failed because it was faulty, and FYI I run smartctl and badblocks every week and they never showed anything wrong



I know what that is, I rebooted forcing fsck "shutdown -rF now" (take note of the command in case you ever need it damn fucking idiot) but showed a ton of errors and after another reboot the disk was dead

Now that you probably googled for all those weird commands come back tomorrow for more linux classes stupid motherfucker

Marry Xmas

Also, 500 servers yourself is a bunch of BS unless all you do is fix them as they go bad. As cheap as drives are you should be doing RAID1.
