Joy
I plugged in my Windows box for the first time since I moved house (nearly two months ago). Of course, I have a second Windows box these days, my notebook, so I haven't been Windows-free all that time.
A couple of hours later I tried to check something on the shared drive and it didn't want to play. So I went into the living computer room and there was this beeping noise. I didn't even know the computer had a beeper; I never bother to connect the speaker up. It must be mounted on the motherboard.
A quick reboot and it's decided that it does have a one-terabyte RAID array after all. It's also managed to discover its video card this time around.
Meh. Linux can be a pain to get working (handy hint: when building a new Linux box, never use a video card less than two years old), but once it's working, it stays working.
Update: Gone again. Blah.
Update: It's not a disk failure. It's just weapons-grade flakiness. After about a dozen reboots - the majority of which failed in one way or another - I'm now logged in as administrator and it's running perfectly. It's not just working, it's working better than it ever worked before. The RAID array, which was always mysteriously slow, is now lightning fast. Very very strange.
Update: And - dead again.
I think I have everything backed up. This weekend I check, double-check, triple-check, and then that RAID array is toast.

Don't you just love it when absolutely nothing works to spec?
