One of these days I'll wander downstairs and figure out what happened. 
I forgot about it yesterday.  I'll check it out in a bit.

It's down right now, too.  (Again, or still?)

still.  rebooted it earlier, it doesn't seem to have had a positive
affect.  need to connect a head and investigate more thoroughly tonight.

No news is bad news.  One of m-net's mirror drives was toast.  Wouldn't
even power up when I tried accessing it.  Luckily, the primary was in
decent condition.  I converted it to a vmware image and I'm working on
bringing m-net back online in my Southfield datacenter virtually.  The
upload will take...pretty much all day, but it'll be stable after that
until we are able to replace it.  It'll also allow me to add additional
disks so we aren't out of diskspace on /home in the meantime.  It says
the transfer will be complete in 4 hours and 19 minutes, but I don't
believe that.  It's 2% complete about an hour into the transfer. :/

Shucks.  Well, thanks for taking care of it (and us), Tony.

Turns out it's going to my Ypsilanti datacenter instead. :(  Transfer
was going to take about 5 days.  Put it on one of my local vmware esx
servers instead and I'm working on bringing up a new virtual disk to
handle /home so it's not constantly full until the new server is brought
online.  Should be a hell of a lot faster now as well.  I've assigned 4G
of RAM (as opposed to the previous 1G).

Just took down m-net for a few hours.  Moving files from /home to the
new partition I assigned for /home since we've been out of diskspace
there for quite awhile.  It'll take a couple hours, but when complete
/home will be larger than the entire disk m-net used to have before last
week. :)

Sweet
Thanks Tony

It's back up now.  /home has lots of diskspace available now.
