Once upon a time, I had an 8 disk hardware RAID that needed to be ordered just 
right. When I moved to Nebraska, I took them all out to dust them... and 
totally lost the order. This left about 40,000 possible combinations. Thanks 
to a LiveCD and hexdump/less, I managed to reorder them just right in about 24 
hours.
