Sage and a HDD failure
Hi,
Kind of an OT question. If one of my recording HDD's should fail will sage crash, or will it continue to run and use the other HDD's to record? TIA Jesse

Have you ever had a hard drive crash? My (infrequent) experience has been that nothing seems to run too well that tries to access it. But, I suppose the effect on SageTV depends on what kind of problems the drive has and how the OS responds to attempts to do anything with the drive.

I recently had a drive start to go south, the smart monitoring stuff alerted me to the fact the drive was headed south and said to back it up ASAP. So I did and replaced the drive before it quit altogether.
However, in the old days when I've had a drive go bad with no warning the computer didn't boot, and/or I lost data on that drive and the app writing to the drive crashed.

I agree with Opus. I don't think anyone can tell you for certain what will happen. There are just too many variables, but I wouldn't count on it continuing to work.
I had a small 10 gig drive that was used exclusively for storing downloaded programs and had nothing to do with Sage; however, it was on the same channel as one of my recording drives. The 10 gig started to die and it would occasionally make both drives inaccessible to windows and Sage would freeze up. According to smart monitoring the drive is still perfectly fine despite the fact it craps out every now and then and brings any other drive on the channel to its knees as well. You just never know what odd behavior a dying drive might cause.
