I was concerned that Xubuntu really wanted to overwrite the software RAID configuration on the existing pair of SATA drives, so I pulled out a spare 200gb SATA drive I had in a drawer and used it for the system. Then I added the RAID to the system. This is nice because it potentially reduces the use of nice RAID space for mundane stuff, but also means I need to move things like /var onto the RAID (via symlinks) to protect databases, etc.
So now I am in the middle of recreating or reinstating all the services. I have several up and going now (including the bus blog). There are others that I will be working on over the next few days, but things are getting somewhat back to normal.
I need to get Asterisk configured ASAP though - I am getting tired of being on endless conf calls on my Blackberry. I hope to set it up so that I can transfer listen-only calls to the main speakers in the office and dispense entirely with using a phone for many of my daily calls...
On a personal note, I think we are all almost over the stomach bug we caught over the weekend. And we had a family bowling night at church tonight (which I was able to attend since choir/band practice was canceled). In spite of Kendre getting several strikes, Mathias won with a score of 110! :-)
