    639639== Raid BBU and Nodes with Targeted Data ==
    640640
    641 Many times a node becomes problematic when the raid BBU goes offline and WriteThrough (rather than WriteBuffer) mode is activated -- definitely happens for a data targeted node, but can also happen for an untargeted node if there are very few targeted nodes with free space. The node should be checked and if BBU needs attention then notify the ipp-dev list for the appropriate person to do so. To check the BBU status, there are two possible commands depending on the node but try the command as given on a machine that doesn't support it the it should be fine (requires sudo and be careful with these commands not to mistype or truncate) --

To check the BBU status, there will likely be an entry in the /var/log/messages from MR_MONITOR for WB changed to WT
