When you say 'moved' I have visions of an opportunity to get the vac down there and to retreive biros and bank statements. I suspect it's not like that.

It's 4tb actual, less real as it is configured as RAID5.

My vision is of kit lashed together in the garage, cables draped around demijohns etc

I suspect it's not like that either.

I have absolutely no idea what any of this means, perhaps with the exception of the bit about biros & bank statements

it really should be for downsizer, the 2 minutes it takes me to shut it down, the ## mins it take for them to derack and rerack the server in the new rack, then about 5 mins to restart things. But there are three servers to deal with and one needs a RAID card replaced as part of this process. So I can't be very sure about it all.

Still not totally sorted, got plagued by the engineers at Rapidswitch showing initiative A pain in the neck in this case, but at least they appear capable of thinking
