Because of human error.
The connector to my 1tb drive pulled out a year and a half ago and took some traces with it, I soldered on a new connector using hair thin wires to reconnect the SMT capacitors and connector. Today I get a new hotswap bay and decide to put that drive in the hotswap bay. When I removed the drive the connector stayed in the bay and I lost the SMT caps. No more data from that drive! So I get to now untar the backup into a 2tb drive and fix the fstab. Moral of the story: backup your data. If it wasn't for a backup I did a week ago I would be in deep shit.
