[Firefighting] Disk failure on Xserve RAID

Disk 8 (first disk on right side) failed at 5:58 this morning.

It’s currently rebuilding onto the hot spare disk 14 and should be done in an hour or so. I replaced the failed disk with the spare from the parts kit and will call Apple for a replacement spare.

I hope this infernal beep turns off when the array is finished rebuilding.
