Dear Santa, thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you but... honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know its not cause at night there's voices so... please please can you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman, or...
Back in a moment.
Thank you Santa.

One Last Outage - Around 1AM CDT

Today's outage is proudly brought to you by Adaptec - "The number one name in overpriced RAID controllers with crappy firmware" - and Western Digital - "Our drives are so tough they eat other disk drives!  Also, your data."

This is to replace the insane drive and wipe and rebuild the corrupted RAID-5 volume.  Should be about 15 minutes.  Once it's done, everything should be good - we have a RAID-5 array and a RAID-1 array and an enterprise SSD for the databases.  What could possibly go wrong?

...

No, thanks, I don't want a list.

Update: DONE!

Update: And for some bizarre reason, after the maintenance was done and I'd made sure everything was working correctly, the networking went notworking.  Bleh.
