Status Update (15/07/2010)

Well as some of you may have seen the Radio seems to be going up and down a lot lately.

This is due to my main PC freezing up when I have been playing a new game. Since the music currently resides on my main computer it has been affecting the radio.

Now I had been trying to diagnose why the freezing was happening and as part of that I disabled restarting the computer after a blue screen. Now each time the computer freezes and I restart it the music stops streaming and locks up the radio and has to be manually restarted. Sometimes I forgot to do this straight away.

In any case one night I came home from work to my computer was Blue Screened when I wasn't even doing anything. On the next reboot one of my hard-drives in my RAID had died it seems.

So I have gone through the process of buying a replacement drive and received it last night.

I then installed it and expected it would rebuild and all would be good but the rebuild time was showing some excessively long times like 3 days. I could not seem to figure out why it would take this long seeming as I only have 1.2TB of data.

So now I am going through the process of backing up my data onto a separate hard-drive and then I will test all the drives individually (Probably breaking my RAID). This might take me a couple of days before things are back online. Might be time for me to look at the hardware RAID card I keep telling myself to get...
