RAID configuration for VPS host servers

[Dayron]

Sirius (the host of my VPS and it looks like a couple of other servers on May 14th) took a drive hit which brought my VPS (yet again as well as many others) down.

I never got a solid answer to how a "power issue" could cause the last rash of outages which hit Sirius (and others) even though the sales sheet for VPS touts a lot about redundant power:
•Dual underground feeds into dual transformers
•Generators, 24hr capacity, refueling contracts
•Instantly available, continuous power

But, thats the past, and I'm sure will be the present again soon enough. Hopefully I can get a straight answer on this one as it seems easy enough to answer:

What is the raid configuration of Sirius and other VPS hosts like it and what is JaguarPC's plan to ensure a single drive failure doesn't bring a virtual host to it's knees anymore?

Dayron,

Sirius drive replacement was scheduled maintenance. We use raid10 on most vps nodes and one drive failure does not bring the node or vps' down. When we receive alerts about a drive failure in an array, we schedule to get the bad drive replaced. Some are hot-swap and you won't notice, others will need the server to be taken down to replace the bad drive and might need a fsck before booting.
