Why are my RAID 1 Mirrors constantly "Verifying & Repairing"?
I have 3 RAID 1 Mirrors, a 1.5Tb and 2 X 2Tb. I run fully updated Windows 7 64bit on a Gigabyte P55A-UD7 motherboard. I have been running happily for a couple of years.
Recently (last 2 weeks), every time I switch my desktop on I get "Verifying & Repairing" in my Notification area. When I double click on it and run IAStorUI I see that all three of my mirrors are "Verifying & Repairing".
Few days ago one drive of one of my 2Tb mirrors died. I ran for a couple of days with the "V & R" message on 2 mirrors with the third mirror "Degraded". I replaced the dead drive and this time it rebuilt while the other 2 were "V & R"ing.
Next time I switched on - NO "V & R" message/warning so I thought "Yah! fixed it"
Next switch on - "Verifying & Repairing" warning AGAIN and since....
Anyone any clue what is going on? Can I fix/stop these warnings? Is another disc failing?
I am worried enough to consider "splitting" ALL my mirrors as it can't be good for the drives to be constantly "Verifying & Repairing". The "V & R" runs for about 6 hours
"Oh, yes", how do I split the mirrors (change the mirrors back to 2 separate duplicate(?) discs and manually sync them)?
