Dear Autonians,

I am sure that some of you who are overly diligent have noticed that
something was wrong with the main file server for the past 2h. I had to
replace one of the boot devices which died recently. The server boots from
ZFS Z-mirror so replacing the disk and making sure the mirror is identical
and bootable is a bit more delicate operation than replacing a storage
drive with no partition and rebuilding RAIDZ-2 (those are the one we use in
production).

I apologize for the inconvenience  but even SSD drives sometimes die and
have to be replaced.

I hope you have a great Friday and that you are doing something much more
interesting than me.

Predrag
