[committee] Fwd: [tech] Fail event on /dev/md/0:medico (fwd)

[Sam Moore]

I think it was more of a case of "Wheel needs to tell us exactly what 
they need"

medico is our VM server; it hosts all our virtual machines including 
mussel which does pretty much everything.

The system disks are two SSDs in raid1 (ie: the same data is on both 
disks). One of these has just died. Medico will still run with the other 
disk, but if that one dies as well bad things will happen*.

So, last time this happened, we got the 128GB Samsung 840 Pro series.
This should be what the remaining disk in medico is.

This is where we got it from:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_902_1370&products_id=22102

I suggest we get this or something similar to replace the failed SSD.
