so with two brand new drives in vlad should you be worried :-(
How to overcome this problem is the next question, should we put new
drives into a 'test bed' and drive them for 3 months to get the poor
infant over the teething problems before using them in a 'real'
system.
My problems are likely to arise from disks being the other end of
the spectrum, I don't have any disk bigger than 40Mb and they haven't
been available for ages so must be 'old'
