One of the root disks died. I believe both were 60GB drives. It
is simplest when the replacement drive is the identical model,
but not necessary. I would personally risk the added complexity
by taking videl offline for several hours and moving the existing
root to a brand new pair of higher capacity drives.

The entire mailman setup and HOSEF website together currently
utilize under 1GB of space.
