About a year ago I had to replace a hot-swappable disk from an array, but then realised I had no idea which physical disk it was as the map of the disks was rather helpfully *inside* the case. Due to the physical setup, I had no way or removing the cover without first powering down the server - which defeated the whole point of paying extra for hot-swap disks. So yeah, be sure to label your disk bays, but be sure to put those labels somewhere *useful*. -fr. -- Feargal Reilly, Chief Techie, FBI.
