I had our server die like that when I took my first holiday in a year or
two. Sods law: I was in India. My mobile bill from debugging the problem
remotely, sorting out a replacement machine from the available stock at
work, and guiding the guys here through getting the RAID to work was
nearly enough to have covered just flying home, fixing it, and flying
back again...

cheers, Rich.
