I had to pull the plug on my servers for the first time tonight due to the incredible heat and the lack of air-conditioning in Swiss homes. My disks started to "sing" and one server logged repeated disk access errors. It seems however that I am not the only person who is having this problem. This morning, after 6 hours of cool-off-time, I powered them up again and they seem to be running fine for now.

I quickly patched together a fan pointed at the systems and a timer, set to run the fan during the hot afternoon hours while I am at work. Let's hope this helps some.
