I don’t think today could get much worse.
On top of everything else, I got a bad disk. But I’m a good techno-weenie so I had a nice tasty backup nearby. I even had a spare disk in the closet. Unfortunately, Linux Volume Manager is not happy about the fact that I have a Physical Volume that no longer exists. So I had to install and learn EVMS just to be able to remove it.
Welcome to the 21st century, Jim.
So now it’s building an EXT3 file system on my replacement drive… I think.
If that goes well, I’ll restore the backup to the new drive.
We’ll see.
