Raid 5 is dead because on multi-terabyte discs I'm almost guaranteed some unrecoverable sectors, which results in data loss. (With sufficiently large disks this is also a risk on a two disk raid1.) Thing is, I shouldn't really care when I'm using drbd for everything. My best case scenario would be: 1. A drive in a raid fails. 2. I put in a new drive. 3. I tell mdadm to rebuild the array, but not abort on unrecoverable sectors, just zero them out and log them in a usable manner. 4. I tell drbd to refetch data from these here sectors as provided by mdadm. 5. Array fully back up, no data missing. Am I correct that neither mdadm nor drbd are anywhere near supporting this workflow?
