RAID rebuild taking 3 days, unable to use email
My hosts server has unexpectedly became unavailable due to file system errors and in order to provide stable server performance they were forced to reboot the server to run file system check. There is now a RAID rebuild running as the background process on the server.
At first the RAID rebuild was doing ok but its come to a screaming halt

At this rate it will take more than a month to fix
Whats worse is that they disabled IMAP and POP3 services to make it run faster so now I can't receive emails. Basically I'm screwed, my website is how I make a living, if I can't send and receive emails then I'll lose all my current and potential customer. Thousands of $$ worth of income for me and my family
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a normal way to handle a RAID rebuild by turning of the email?
I'm super pissed right now
