Broken RAID5 you said? Don't use Java anymore. Go with python instead!

[ Thanks to Edmundo for this link. ]

"So, you have a broken RAID5 and found the article I wrote for the Free Software Magazine 5 years ago about it and would like to give it a shot.

"First off: Good luck! You are gonna need it.

"Second: When I solved that problem I didn't have any experience in python whatsoever plus Oracle hadn't bought Sun, sued Google, etc.

"During the course of these 5 years I have received some requests to help people out with their situation and it's been a very nice experience to hack on those devices here or there to get the data back. I have received a little money by paypal and even once got a box of whine bottle from Italy (thanks, Marco!) as payments."
