Awesome.  Looks like computerstop has a 320 G SATA for around $90.
Cheep fix, relatively.

I'm trying to use smartctl to probe the nature of the error, but to no
avail.  Apparently, my version of smartctl does not support my adaptec
raid controller.  

I think I'll just try a new disk and see if I can fix the error.  That's
one reason why we deployed raid5 in the first place.


Appreciate the help!
