For those of you who may have wondered where I'd gone, I really didn't fall off the face of the Earth (and contrary to what some folks might believe, the Earth still isn't flat). I'm currently recovering from a multi-drive failure in my RAID-5 array. I was very, very lucky in that only one of the drives died a horrible death, with the 2nd having a semi-recoverable error. The second drive failed before the array could reconstruct itself, and my spare drive was already in use. Had I been running an OS where I didn't have the source, I probably would have lost all of my data (roughly 25-30GB currently), but since I had the source to the RAID software, I think I've managed to recover most everything. Let this be a warning to anyone else with a nice RAID setup who also doesn't keep current backups... My DAT drive died about 6 months ago, and Sony can't seem to cough up a service manual. [If anyone has any surplus DLTtape IIIXT tapes sitting around collecting dust, feel free to contact me off-list. I managed to collect a DLT2000 drive right before my DAT drive died that still hasn't attracted the proper tapes. I'd also like to find an inexpensive source for new or low mileage 4/9/18GB UW SCSI drives, as I think it may be best for me to replace the entire lot of old 9GB drives that made up my RAID-5 array.] I also have a number of things that still need to get sent out to folks. If anyone is expecting anything from me and doesn't hear from me soon, contact me off-list and remind me. -Toth
