It should.  However, just the other day I had a power outage on my 
single drive Qube (nearly full 30GB drive).  It took almost 2.5 hours 
for the thing to fix itself... I thought at first that it had been 
"fried" as I got no reponse, etc.  So I connected the null modem 
cable and watched while it ran fsck a couple of times (there's some 
sort of internal IDE timeout that reset the process after a while; 
guess nobody ever figured it could take a LONG time for fsck to run!)

Thus my suggestion to connect the null modem cable and see what's 
really going on...
