I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with this card: RAID bus controller [0104]: Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller 5 [1028:0015] and six disks in a RAID-10.
I replaced drive 2, because it didn't show up, and then it started to rebuild itself:
root@backup01:~# megaraidsas-status

a0e8s5 | ATA ST2000DM001-9YN1 1863GiB | online | errs: media:0 other:5393
The rebuild finishes, then the virtual drive becomes optimal, and drive 2 goes online. Then once a day, drive 2 acts like it's been removed, and the rebuild starts all over again. How do I make this once a day rebuild stop?
