Nobody seems to have mentioned the reshape issue. What sort of reshape 
were you running? How far into the reshape did it get? Do you have any 
logs of the errors (which might at least indicate whereabouts in the 
array things were before you pushed it over the edge)?


What you'll have is one part of the array in one configuration, the 
remaining part in another and no record of where that split begins.
