Bruce Condello –
You asked, “Is this consistent with the intermittent nature of the problem?”
It certainly could be. Failing hardware is by nature intermittent. Failed hardware is just plain dead.
If we are headed for a system crash, then I hope the PB site and all data is backed up somewhere other than on another drive on the same server. As Catmandoo observed, a system crash could be a good thing because the problem hardware diagnosis would be a lot easier.
I would rather be fishing than contemplating consistent intermittency!
