Rebuilding the dead OS drive failed. So the team decided to give the old "failed" drive a try. This started to rebuild fine so everyone went to the pub. | |||
One Courtyard meal later and the OS drive claims to be rebuilt, but just to be sure, Attenborough was rebooted into the RAID BIOS. Much to the disappointment of all present, Attenborough promptly started to beep and reported the RAID array to be degraded. Just in case something other than the drive had failed, Attenborough was set about rebuilding his RAID array again. This failed. | |||
At this point there was only one thing to do: call [[Sam|Sam Willcocks]]. Sam suggested installing Ubuntu on another, unraided, drive to dump all of the data on Attenborough onto Backup. | |||

[[Hui-Ling Phillips]] and [[Katherine Bell]] had arrived bringing the gift of biscuits and all awaited data to start pouring onto Backup through the magic of rsync with the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack playing in the background to match the atmosphere and keep morale high. | |||
Pizza was then ordered. | |||
