Ahhhhhhhh....the light is getting brighter, I'm walking towards it. This
whole disk failing thing is causing more and more nonsense. I moved it
back to it's old backup method for now, removing it from my amanda
disklist, so I can get a solid level 0 of everything and sleep well. I
just keep praying these boxes will go away soon. 

I don't have the resources or approval to test if that client is failing
due to hardware issues. We dumped this company a year ago and I still
can't shake them. It's my own little version of SARS.
