When the NFS server is booted it reports this:

==================================================================
SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk 0: Maxtor 6Y250P0-(PM)

WARNING: Immediately back-up your data and
replace your hard disk. A failure may be imminent.

Press F1 to continue
==================================================================


When I hit F1, grub takes forever to load, and the thing eventually  
panics. The
drive is hosed. That drive is *NOT* the /imc partition (which is  
RAID-10), but
the OS drive. So the IMC data isn't lost (well, presumably).

Now the drive itself doesn't have too much on it. Basically the only  
real
config is /etc/exports and I have a reasonably recent copy of that.  
The problem
is that I'm no where near the system--a loooooooong ways away in both  
space & time.

Well that just sucks, doesn't it?

I was thinking for an interim setup, it could even be booted from a  
live CD
like dynebolic, as long as that has 3ware 9xxx drivers and the NFS  
server
compiled in. If not, perhaps another livecd. Anyone know?
