That's just it...  Bad power in the building was due to the building's 
UPS (big sucker, attached to a Cummins diesel generator) failing. 
That's been fixed, so the power in the building is OK again.

Previous to the UPS going down, this building hadn't lost power in many 
years.  We don't have to deal with this kind of problem very often.  ;-)

I've been using the array, and it's going great.  ReiserFS proves to be 
robust, as long as the hardware, power, and software on the system are 
in good working order.
