It appears that hdb is on the way out. I think it is packing its |
| 41 |
bags. 4.55MB/sec is getting pretty slow. That is on par with the |
| 42 |
drives that were made 15 or 20 years ago. |

I guess the next time I have the rig turned off, I need to move hdc down |
| 45 |
to hdb's spot and bolt her down. |
