We are adding another drive to hold several images of the system partition
and a menu to allow choosing an image when the default one is damaged. There
was a problem getting to the system files that morning . there is a raid 5
array. I had help with this as I'm not that knowledgeable in this area.
However the additional drive should prevent this particular problem from
happening again.
