Hardware raid for the win... Or in this case not. Taking a block copy of the filesystem to another device and it comes up clean on fsck. I'm... a little annoyed at what purported to be a relatively nice Dell PERC raid card - battery backup an' all. Thanks David - I should have known better to trust hardware... Now I just need to work out the best way to get to a trustworthy system :) David
