I can't believe it... my Photo drive is about to die, the RAID station with my /home partition had loads of errors which caused it to be remounted read-only - so I rebooted to repair that, and now that that was successful (phew!) the drive I was using to make an 'emergency copy' of my photo drive is *itself* giving me grief (fsck would not even finish at first) ... so all the weeks spent copying photos (not yet finished) may have been in vain: if I'm lucky I'll end up with a usuable but empty drive :(( #ihatehardware
