I thought I'd share my geekish joy.
A drive in one of the servers on my network at home has failed, and it
sent me a nice email, I feel very wanted, and somehow gratified. :-).
Oh, and it's nice to know that mdadm does it's job properly, this is the
first time I've had a mdadm array fail for real, normally it's because I
unplugged a drive to test it!
Cheers, Me.
(Yes, a bored, and somewhat sad, geek...)
