Again some problem with the discs on June, 29th.
The error is about the raid 3 of photon00.
It is an unused raid and it is not mounted.
Roberto Ferrari help us, eliminating the raid giving errors, due to this 'lost' disc.
This raid was a refuse from the past, just to allow the proper numbering of the devices.
Otherwise they would have been mounted in the wrong mount points.
But now, Roberto says it does not need to exist anymore.
Another problem, more severe, was instead that of the disc of raid1, giving some now and then an error message (Ecc or timeout).
Roberto removed it and substituted it with a spare one. This wat the raid is secure again. Thank you Roberto!
The removed disc is now being tested, to check whether the problem is hardware or due to a wrong communication with the controller.
Roberto also makes us aware that the machine is very old and won't survive for a long time still...
In case it breaks we don't have any spare (nor by buying them, because of its obsolescience).
