Several mont, that hs ago, I wondered about what would happen if we had a
drive failure (4326). I was reassured that, despite the small size, that
replacements were available.

Last night, a little after 5 PM, a drive did fail.

It has been replaced, and rebuild has completed.

But, I thought it odd that seven drives start with 68 and the failed drive
started with 21. Turns out, from the log, that a previous drive failure
was in the same position.

Is that typical?

Came at a nice point. People above were thinking of dropping maintenance
at end of year. Nice to have a reminder just how worthwhile hardware
maintenance contract can be, without a disasterous system failure. We
recently experienced that on a DEC Alpha system. I wasn't involved with
it, but recovery was not immediately possible.
