A Bridge Chip Too Far

I was trying to do a final check to make sure that everything had been copied to the new box correctly, but after four crashes in two hours due to the flaky old SATA controller, I gave up.

Shut everything down, installed the new Promise controller, tweaked a couple of files so that it was recognised, and off we go - except the main RAID array wasn't recognised. And when I tried the old trick that recovered it last time, it wasn't having any. 600GB of toast.

Good thing I backed up all that toast first. Well, that was the whole point of the exercise. Indeed, it was the idea from the start, redundant arrays of inexpensive toast. Disks. Whatever.

I told you butter wouldn't suit the works.

Update: Splut.

This means war.
