Wonder why? Hardware failure.

Raid 1 (mirror) failed after a power outage, its raid 1 though so all should be good. Not. I remade the raid configuration in the controller and it still couldn’t see the operating system. I tried to recover data, no go, couldn’t mount any part of the drives in linux.

Moral of the story? Back shit up, Or you will end up looking like a retard like me. Don’t get me wrong, raid is necessary, but if you don’t know much about raid configuration and recovery in linux, don’t count on it to save your ass.
