[Dirvish] Val Henson's LWN article on hard drive failure

While exploring the causes and results of my recent checksum

By coincidence, she had recently written an article for Linux
World News on disk drive failure, with pointers to more papers:

This is a thought-provoking article that most of you should read.  It
provides some real-world data to help make decisions about backups
and the type of drives to do them on.
