Well, if anyone is interested still, I'm working on the server now. I was hoping to start much, much earlier in the day, but got word early this morning that my grandmother had a pretty bad stroke and her condition was not looking great. Needless to say, family definitely comes before work.

Anyway, once I finally got to the office, I discovered that the server backup had not been run in 2 days because someone turned off the machine that handles the backup (Retrospect to an external drive, with a once weekly backup to a Snap 2200) and I was not going to do a thing before I had the most complete backup set possible. So once that was run, I decided to shoot for the moon and threw one of the 500 gig drives right in.

No problems booting up, or accessing the web GUI once it started. It did not see the drive as part of the RAID5 set initially, so I'm currently adding that drive and resyncing. It's reading the drive as the local hot spare, but I'm hoping and praying that it will miraclously add it as just another drive in the RAID set. I should know in about an hour, once the sync has completed, if it's going be kind to me or if it's going to be one of those 3 packs of smokes kind of night.
