Trogdor had a hard drive failure

Surprisingly enough it was the maxtor that had no mounting brackets and was resting in the drive bay.. le sigh…

first hard drive failure I’ve ever had..

oh well.. first time for everything..

the drive’s been disabled in the fstab.. gonna need to pull her out this weekend.

Below is the output to dmesg when i rebooted

Luckily it was just the drive storing mp3′s and not the www drive. So the drive hadn’t even been used in weeks. Matt will be happy. Just to be safe I tar’ed and gzip’ed up the www drive and put it somewhere safe to be careful..

Le Sigh.. I blame Ross entirely.
