        Heh,

        Used to work for a UNIX consulting firm in Calgary - swapping the
logics boards on SCSI hard disks was usually the second thing we'd try
on a failed drive. The first was always "smack it" - Seagate drives
from the early 90's sometimes suffered from "stiction", in which they
wouldn't spin up. The smacking usually fixed it. ;)

        Er - incidentally, a bit of self-promo: my article, entitled "Homebrew
High-Availability - Booting Linux from a RAID-1" appears in the January
2001 issue of SysAdmin Magazine... step-by-step instructions on making
your Linux boxen more stable, using cheap and common IDE hard disks...
</toot>

        Cheers,
        - Drew.
