Disk Fails when its not broken
I have a strange issue with a DL380 server. At present it had 6 36gb disks in two logical drives, 0-3 in a raid 5 using reiserfs and 4-5 using xfs in a raid 1. I am running Debian Linux which is up to date. Now this has been running fine for months, but just recently its been having some major problems. After doing any reasonable amount of work the system will freeze, disk 1 will then fail, 5 seconds later disk 3 will fail. This makes a bit of a mess of the system as you lose the raid. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with these disks, if you do a restart and ask the system to try and use them they work fine until 36 hours or so later they fail again. All the other disks are fine and have yet to report any failures. I have replaced the disks with new ones and I get the same issue.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Re: Disk Fails when its not broken
I believe its a G2. Is there any easy way to find out without turning the thing off. As its the only live box I have I dont really like the idea of turning it off any more than absoloutly neccessary. I have removed the disks that were causing the issue, and it seem happy now, but I do still need to fix it as I need the storage space.
Anyway on the front of the box there is a sticker with the following:
DL380 R02 P1400 512 UK
8248JZG22372
One other thing I would like to ask (as I am going to completly rebuild the os when this is sorted) am I likley to see some benifit from using SUSE linux over debian. I have been useing Debian for some time now and am very happy with it. But I have also used quite a bit of SUSE. Basically is there going to be some speed improvement, better driver support for changing fan speeds, better reliablity or pre-warning of failures like the one I have or something of that order which I would get from switching to SUSE? Or some totally amazing cant live with out benifit for switching to red hat (as I havent played with red hat for a very long time)?
