I just got an email notice automatically generated by my server:

Device: /dev/sda, SMART Failure: FAILURE PREDICTION THRESHOLD EXCEEDED: ascq=0xf8

I have submitted a ticket to the server people, but best I can figure, looks like there is a potential hard drive failure imminent in the server.
Not sure how much of a problem this is going to be and when, but if it indicates a failing hard drive, then I suppose the server guys will be replacing the offending drive sometime sooner rather than later.
Not sure how much, if any, warning I will get as to either the drive replacement, or an actual failure.
So if the site is down sometime soon, those of you who read this will have a heads up as to why.
