A word of warning

Greetings all;

I have just now managed to recover a working system caused by updating the firmware on 2 of those 1 terrabyte seagate drives. One of them was the system drive, and the update scrambled the labels and blkid's, but not the partitions, so my data remained available but it had to be searched for.

The drive remained usable and I have recovered all my data to the other of these twin drives, but its write speeds run in the 350k/sec range, so I just now have it all moved back to the good drive.

This past week is one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Cheers, Gene
