arghhhh.
June 7th, 2001Could today get any worse?
I am in the equipment room watching an fsck run on the remaining good drives. Yes… REMAINING good drives. One of them died. I am not entirely sure what was on it… hopefully nothing important, though, since it was one of the 9GB drives on this machine I seriously doubt it was just extra unused diskspace.
What really sucks is that this machine has gone for about two years without anyone touching it… and then last weekend we went and moved it into the equipment room and look what happens. Just my luck. And… like I said… it has gone two years without anyone touching it… meaning… NO BACKUPS.
Yeah I know… "Bad Daniel for not making a backup"… but I didn't have time. I made one backup when the system started…. ages ago… and the data hasn't changed since then…. but still… it is old… I should have a newer one. And… i don't even remember what I used to get it on the tape… in order to get it off again… or if this system will even boot.
….
The system booted. The lost drive contained about 20% of the important data. *sigh* Guess I'll go find that backup tape.
I knew today wasn't going to be a good day. I just knew it.
