Notes
- IMPORTANT: DO NOT HOT-SWAP HARD DRIVES. It appears that adding drives does not work, and then causes the rest of the drives to fail. When you reboot, some of the disks in the raid4 may be out of date- you have to boot with break=mount and force the raid to start. There does not appear to be any data corruption, but this isn't good anyways. Just reboot the machine to add disks
