[kwlug-disc] Server hard start

[Insurance Squared Inc.]

We just had power drop in the office, and the machines went down hard 
before I could shut them all down somewhat gracefully.

My backup/dns server has something like 500gigs, and seems to be wanting 
to do a thorough check on all that before it comes back to life.  And 
that's taking forever.  Do I have to let it finish checking the HD's? or 
can I skip this.  Alternatively, any guesses on how long we have to wait 
before our DNS comes back - an hour?  Three?
