I just setup a raid 5 using a 6i serveraid pci-x card with 3 1tb wd sata drives. All was perfect till one month after setup a drive fried luckily I had a new spare when plugged in the yellow rebuild light came on and after 2-3 days it was done and the yellow light went out for that drive. Now the other 2 drives activity (green) lights flash in sync about 8 times a second and have been for a week! Is this a normal part of the rebuild process and will eventually stop?
When the raid kernel loads it reports the raid as "OK" while it was rebuilding the bad drive it would report "REBUILDING". So the actual rebuild process did complete properly. If I do a reboot as soon as the raid kernel loads the other 2 drive activity lights start flashing again rapidly as explained.
Any advice would be appreciated.
