CRITICAL

There is a serious problem with md1k-2, one of the PowerVault MD1000's connected to s3. It will get into a state where two disks appear to have failed. A two-disk failure when using RAID-5 would mean complete data loss. Fortunately, I've found a remedy that is allowing us to copy the data to a different array.
