Sort of. The drive went south on me today. Thought it was gonna be the 2nd
Linux box I've ever lost, but e2fsck rescued it and now I can decommission
it instead :). Actually, I'm pretty certain I can do that with the other
one too...

That's what I'd hoped, but it wasn't working. I'm pretty certain that if I
bounce the drive off the sidewalk a few times they'll be gone :).
