I'm at the data center and noticed the error light is blinking on the 2nd
drive in the RAID array.  I should probably take it down and run the raid
tool to see what's up with it.  Just wanted to get a quick response as to
what the implications of doing so are.

Uh, you can do that without taking it offline, right?

If it goes offline, we lose wwwmaster.postgresql.org. Which pretty much
means that anybody hitting download links on our website will get a
timeout until it's back up.

I don't think Dell makes raid utils for FreeBSD, but i'll look. 
Controlled downtime is better than uncontrolled imo, and of course no down
time is better.  :)

Ah, major bummer in that case :-(

But yeah, it's certainly a lot better with controlled downtime! :-)

(And yes, there are thoughts about making that part of the system
distirbuted between at least two servers as well, but we (at least I)
haven't gotten around to it yet..)

If you haven't already, please put a news item up before taking it down.  Also 
post to -ANNOUNCE.

Too late, it's already down.
And back up. BUT.. Gavin, it seems the VM for wwwmaster (svr2) isn't
started, just the "main borg". 'fraid I have no idea how those parts
work, so I don't know how to start it..

Sorry, took it down and took out the bad drive and brought it back up.
I'll be running to Fry's in a bit to buy a new drive for it.
