Good catch!
Better get on that drive though !

I just spent the better part of a Friday night (Grrrrrr...always on Fridays!) chasing down a similar ghost. Turned out the embedded raid controller was getting flaky and would just randomly drop the entire container whenever it felt moody.

Our 4 hour parts guarentee from HP is usually fine, but starting the 4 hour clock at 10pm on a Friday isn't my idea of a fun night...you'd be surprised how quickly another system becomes "un-necessary" when you need a part for the company owner's private server!
