Re: Directories swapping contents!?!?!?

Certainly an interesting problem.  Without attaching
significance, I
noted that the partition types on the RAID drives were
"83" not "fd". 
People on the list are correct that causes could range from
PEBKAC to
file system meta-data issues.   It would be interesting to
know how long
it took to recognize this problem. Did the
directories/content switch at
once or "bleed" over a period of time?
