Church, and then family birthdays. That was a good time, found out I apparently have more readers than I thought... After that was work. We went to swap out the cable on Usonia2, and the new cable was really bad (wouldn't see any of the drives). We did a low-level format of the bad drive, and swapped out the controller, and everything seems to have rebuilt OK. We finished up Avalon, and left it restoring a few home directories, rebuilding the Mac indexes, and resetting all the home directory permissions. Then I went home, watched the last few minutes of Changing Lanes since my brother was watching it, and then watched Stigmata. I still think it's a bit freaky, but it's interesting and you notice more things each time you watch it. After the movies it's time to check on the servers again. Avalon is doing fine, which I think is a record of some sort. I have no problems believing it'll be done by morning. Usonia2 is another story. The verify is 90% done, and the controller is freaking out about SCSI ID 0 (the old bad drive was ID 4). It's also complaining about NTFS being corrupt and I can't get to over half the data on the drive. It says to run chkdsk, so I try and it exits with errors within 2 seconds. I try chkdsk with a forceful dismount, and same thing. Try unmounting the drive, same thing. Mount it under a different drive letter, same thing. Luckily last night's backup got all the way through the Usonia2 stuff, so worst case we'll loose a day of data... Rebooted it and it's pingable but otherwise unreachable, which is sorta a good sign since it probably means it's attempting to fix the problems with the drive. Not much I can do now since it's unreachable and probably dead anyways... Hopefully it'll be up by morning, otherwise we get to figure out what to do, and none of the options are likely to be very good choices. I guess I better get some sleep - it's gonna be a long day tomorrow. :(
