RIP Tim Pritchard
Tim was MJ's boyfriend (my girlfriend's mum), and he died today.
I met him over the summer and he seemed like a pretty nice guy.
I'm sorry I couldn't have gotten to know you better.

Failing RAID Card?
I seem to be having trouble with my server. *sigh*
Twice today the 4 drives on the RAID card have vanished with a few nasty looking errors in the Event Log. After the first time I rebooted it and they came back, when it happened again a few hours later I decided not to risk it until I had plan and just shut down.
If I understand correctly, due to the way RAID works, if the controller card fails I'm likely to lose all of the data on the four 500GB drives, about 800GB of music and videos in total. So I've decided to rescue as much as I can (hopefully all of it) as quick as possible, and then break the RAID putting the disks back separately instead of spanned across all of them. It just takes a lot of time copying that much data around!
I've hooked my 500GB Seagate FreeAgent drive up to the server and have been copying ALL of my music onto it - doing this first as I've paid for a large chunk of the tracks there. Once the music is backed up, I can start on the videos. I snagged a new 500GB drive from PC World on my way home which will be able to take the majority of them, but I'll have to dump the rest on the remaining space of the FreeAgent drive.
I'm a little stressed right now, worried the RAID card will completely fail before I can get all the data off. Fingers crossed!
