Thanks :), I'll check it out. Since my home file server is now growing,
that's just the kind of monitoring I want for the future.

Absolutely; and I did take the indications seriously. Unfortunately, the
accounting department (a.k.a. my wife & my bank account) couldn't help me out
fast enough.
Of course, the good news is that she now knows first hand (well 1.5 hand, I
guess) what it's like to have a disk go bad with data on it. That should
help me get parts faster in the future :) .
