I'll check regularly to see if it happens again... Maybe it's related
to the problems I had with Raid in may. I currently run the server
without Raid1, because the bad experience showed me that no raid (with
a daily backup, anyway) is less of a potential hassle than shitty SIS
software Raid (which is more insecure because it doesn't inform you
correctly of the real array state).
