It was even worse.  They added a 2 hour hardware test to the delay,
just to confirm the error status we already had (from lots of Linux
kernel error messages plus SMART test failures).  And the replacment
disks we received have already Power_On_Hours = 40,000+ i. e. they
have been "burned in" for > 4.5 years :-(

But we are back up and running by now, it seems.

If you observe any issues then please send me a trouble report by
e-mail. Thanks.

And sorry for the inconveniences.  Be assured that we will discuss
this event internally and try to improve.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
