Disk status icons
Disks which are marked with an are system disks. This
means they are used to store the system partition, which
contains the configuration files of the SNAZ OS. They can still
be used as part of any RAID(s)
Disks which are marked with an have been detected by
the system as being in a prefail state. This means that certain
types of errors have been found on them and they are likely to
become faulty as a result. The system uses Self-Monitoring
Analysis And Reporting Technology (SMART) parameters to
track these errors
Disks which are marked with have been assigned as
hot spare disks. These are used should one of the other disks
fail
Disks which are marked with are not currently
members of a RAID
Disks which are marked with have been rejected by
the RAID they were a member of
Disks which are marked with are currently being
resynchronised. The system, at all times, has to ensure that all
mirrored RAID disks contain exactly the same data. If a
difference is found, resynchronisation is performed to bring all
the RAID disks back to identical mirrors of one another.
