No change in the disklist on the server for quite a few days, I had added
an entry to grab /lib/firmware 2 or 3 weeks ago, before e2fsck gave the /
partition on the drive a good mauling until it up and died. New drive,
new install. No backup of /etc for either machine. Once I get it working,
I'll add that to the disklist for both machines. Hindsight, 20-10 you
