A replacement drive will be ordered ASAP. Lots of stuff has died with it, expect chaos for a while. The mailing list archives are among the dead. :( I just hope some backups exist. > The linux smbfs is, in the tradition of Linux, a festering hack, and > this isn't exclusively the fault of the implementors. Alas, if you rate software on two scales: elegantly engineered solution to festering hack, and useless to useful, I'd hazzard a guess that if there is any correlation, it would be positive (associate the festering hacks with higher utility). Non-programmers don't care *how* the programmer implements something, so long as it works most of the time. Evidence? Microsoft products. I rest my case. -john
