So yesterday, I started
working on putting together a 16 drive storage machine that will serve as a
temporary backup for the holidays. The machine in question has a 3ware SATA RAID
controller, which in turn has a configuration utility which I used to set up a
few volumes. Once the configuration was complete, I saved it, and exited. At
this point, the controller had to clear the drives of data, and because all 16
drives are 1.5TB drives, it was taking forever. I started this process in the
morning, and by the time I left, it was only at around 45% complete.
This morning I came in to see how far it had progressed, and I was presented
with a dialog not unlike the one you see here. It said nothing other than "OD"
and had a button for "OK". Yeah. The only way this could be more awesome is if
the "OK" had a question mark after it.
