First, Joomla is not listed on Fantastico, tried to update Fantastico
WHM >> Plugins >> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin >> Update/Get files
Failed!! Below Error showed up when opening Fantastico from cPanel

The server was not able to find the document (./frontend/x3/fantastico/index.php) you requested. Please check the url and try again. You might also want to report this error to your web hosting provider.

Access WHM >> Plugins >> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin again, this time it asked to re-install. Done that. But I still get the same error.

When you activated SuPHP on cPanel servers, this is the normal output should be.

The MIME types associated with PHP may have changed.
If you experience problems with PHP related settings in .htaccess files, ensure
those files use the MIME types specified above (the first value listed after AddType.)

Luckily, uncle Google very nice to me and show me article on Howtoforge.com, following the article I am confident to replace failed harddisk. Below is my Raid configuration:

Array: /dev/md0; Member: /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1; Raid: 1; Filesystem: ext3fs; mountpoint: /boot
Array: /dev/md1; Member: /dev/hda2 /dev/hdb2; Raid: 0; Filesystem: swap; mountpoint: swap
Array: /dev/md2; Member: /dev/hda3 /dev/hdb3; Raid: 1; Filesystem: ext3fs; mountpoint: /

From: FelipeCruz

To add swap partition use command

# mkswap /dev/hdb2
# swapon /dev/hdb2
# vi /etc/fstab
# /dev/hdb2   swap   swap   defaults   0 0

With assuming you already create /dev/hdb2 partition before using fdisk and chose swap filesystem.
