Hmm, you may be on to something there. This machine was designed with
two disksoriginally, but due to a hardware failure on another machine
it's actually running with 5 (off a 450W redundant PSU). I have bigger
replacement PSUs on the way, so here's hoping that resolves it. Thanks
for the reply.

Kevin.
