Default FYI: Hard drive failure in one of the servers

We have "suffered" a hard disk failure in one of our three hosting servers. The machine at this moment is still online and operational, however I'm sure it will need to be power cycled to replace the drive (even though I'm pretty sure its a hot-swappable drive). This is being done remotely for us by the hosting firm, and I'm not sure on their timeframe for replacement.

So what does this mean to you? If you can't get to the site, its because you're hitting that particular server. For most, it'll be too late - you'll read this after-the-fact. But for the slight chance some of you see this ahead of time, and experience a server not being available, try one of the other two:

www1.ls1tech.com
-or-
www3.ls1tech.com

The server affected is www2, and it isn't the machine's primary drive either -- the failed drive is used as a hot backup drive, and is non-critical. We expect any potential outage to be short.
