Is it just me ?
Yesterday
RAID0 failed ... ordered a new drive which arrived today and restored the 4am backup to it - Acronis worked well but was unable to short stroke the drive so I ended up faffing around with gparted to get it performing better than before.
Today
Having just finished the restoration above, I decide that it would be prudent to check the media/NAS and run a backup.
*sigh*
Disk 1 2Tb - Primary data backed up once a week is showing SMART errors but is 'live' - I'm now running a differential on it *fingers crossed*
Disk 2 1.5Tb - HD Movies full to the brim - Not critical and so not backed up but should have been moved to the RAID5 array. SMART errors and looks dead
