Thanks, but I'm taking the goddamn thing apart. Quantum has been bought by Maxtor, and Maxtor's "No-Quibble" policy insists that you run a utility of theirs on the drive to ensure that it is actually defective, if all you are reporting is bad sectors. The utility is Windows only and all my SCSI chains are on Linux systems. And the only system I have the right to really mess with has a two-device cable with two devices on it.

Not that I would reinstall a bad drive just to run a utility on it. I have better things to do with my time than to have to quibble with a no-quibble support policy. Like buying drives from other companies.

And I'm not sending the drive to anyone, sorry, because there is still sensitive data on it. Including all the Cellar information...

Now then, 16 systems? How can we convince you to run Genome@Home for the Cellar team?
