Yep, that was a raid setup..... when making the picture yesterday i shortwired the controller. I opened up the case while it was running :bashwall:
So it's f*ed now. But luckily even the raid is a mirror of my W2K3 server so i'll just have to dump an image rebuild 1Tb of raid.
Strangely this never happens to the mac
