But I don't use raid.

I won't be on a machine where I can put my ear next to the disk until
a few days from now, and it is best if I can be excused from most
testing as on my rural mountaintop, I cannot get help if something
breaks. Anyway, anybody else notice it?

Linux jidanni1 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 11 14:37:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Anyway, reboot worked fine, but I just happened to note the disk was
spun down and back up in the process, as my head happened to be near
it that day.
