Ugh. I woke up this morning to a hung server caused by a failed hard drive. I sure am glad I bought two! I’m still not sure why one failed drive in a RAID array would cause my server to hang, but I have a strong suspicion it has something to do with my crappy no-name SATA controller. The machine would not boot up past the Grub prompt with both drives connected, but if I removed the failed one, everything worked fine again. Annoying!

- Yup, it figures my home server would go nuts just after posting that last link. Maybe I should take my own advice and use EC2! ;-) 3 hrs ago
