I was shocked when I arrived home last night to see system crash messages on a black console screen having just fsck’d another system following I/O errors after a power outage last night during which I discovered my UPS batteries have depleted. This, after having migrating from the safety net of RAID10 mirroring to the performance of RAID0 striping across my hard drives and installinging/customizing a whole new desktop environment (KDE -> Xfce), was not a pleasant sight. Fortunately, it was just a screensaver.
