I would add, are they the relatively new flash (SSD, i.e., Solid-State Drive) drives, rather than the standard HDD?  The early-model SSDs were known to fail early.  Only time will tell how the newer SSD drives hold up. --- On Fri, 4/26/13, John Scipione jscipione@xxxxxxxxx wrote: From: John Scipione jscipione@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [haiku] Re: Service downtime announcement To: haiku@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, April 26, 2013, 2:11 PM ...

The second new disk is still being resynced into the raid, but apart from that, everything seems to work as usual again. It may take approx. an hour until the temporary redirect for www.haiku-os.org has expired. ...

Hi there, due to failing harddisk(s), our root server will have to be shut down soon. All services will be down until the disk(s) have been replaced. Let's hope the replacement disks will live a bit longer ... cheers, Oliver ...

2013/3/29 Pete Goodeve pete.goodeve@xxxxxxxxxxxx One other major annoyance is that the moment the DVD window opens, the SMPlayer panel expands to include it, but instead covers it up with a frozen screengrab! And when I try to move things around to see the movie, it leaves other frozen pieces around the screen...
