Oles made a post about it some months ago, and one of my servers had this happen to it, but I never found out why, putting it back into HD mode and leaving it, its been fine since. Perhaps the system was faulty or the server was doing something it shouldn't for a short period of time, or even being attacked itself by someone else, I can't be sure.

I had the same problem the other day, you will need to run e2fsck
to fix I ran:
df -h
to get the problem file system then ran:
e2fsck -y /whatever
'y' answers yes to everything, check here for more info:

even in rescue mode. no hardrive is shown. if i had breached the TOS surelly i would have gotten an email warning me about this issue?
Yes you should have got an e-mail stating why it was put into rescue mode, but it doesn't get activated if no disk is detected... It sounds like something else is going on, possibly a hardware failure? I suggest logging into the manager and opening a ticket, so a technician can follow suite on the (I think 8 hour) hardware SLA.

Looks like the employees might need their consistencies checked.

Seriously though, did you try e2fsck?
