Problems with the news server...

The RAID system had a hickup around 3:00 last night, and the spool
partition went into read-only mode, which made the nntp server shut
down.

I had to reboot it to bring the RAID system up, and now it says:

May 23 11:52:43 ciao kernel: [  146.213551] megaraid_sas 0000:c1:00.0: 807 (643542763s/0x0004/CRIT) - Enclosure PD 20(c None/p1) phy bad for slot 3

Which I guess means that it's not very redundant.  I'm buying a new
server and transferring the data to it instead of asking support there
to look into it.

Unfortunately, when I rebooted the server, I forgot to save the incoming
queue (which was on /tmp), so some hours worth of mail is probably lost.

(I've got a backup of the spool on the different server, so there's no
major lossage happening, but there will probably be service
interruptions while switching over to the new server.)
