    Hey Matt, it's been an hour or so, mind looking at the progress indicator? Bated breath over here, I've just started a forum couple weeks ago and it's going real crazy, 2k+ uniques yesterday alone.

    The outage's not that terribly bad, being 3am on the east coast atm, but I'm still climbing the walls.

    The latest status is not only did the file system go bad but:

    The 5 volt power went dead they are replacing the power supply and are currently working on it.
    That is all I have to report at this time. Not sure what went wrong here but multiple hardware failures it seems.

    Just saw this.

    Well, that clarifies a lot then, power went down, one hard-drive in the matrix went dead on the os, os didn't care for the situation. If that's the case, then the hdd is just fine (provided it's powered) and fsck should run [pretty] spotless.

    Jives with the "bought this expensive hardware precisely to protect ppl from this sort of situation" complaint too, it woudln't be the hard-drive's fault.

    Certainly sounds a lot better than mere mysterious hard drive failure. Let's hope for the best eh
