Let's see. RAID systems... There were a couple of quick "hangs" in the whole system as our Network Appliance rebooted itself as we tried to add new disks. And I was tweaking with the SnapAppliance and purposefully failed the questionable drive that crapped out yesterday. There was a longer outage in the afternoon as we had to reboot kryten again for the usual reasons. This time, though, I fsck'ed the upload directories as Eric spotted some file system corruption yesterday. This took a while, but did get fixed, and everything came up normally. Actually I'm still coaxing the splitters back to life as I type this. Eric just said the fsck cleared up problems we were having sync'ing disks with bruno - so that project is back on track. Maybe next week we'll have a new server in play. A large chunk of my day was spent cleaning up the other lab so I could set up our new Dell 64-bit system. Dave bought this for BOINC development, and it's running Windows Vista. This was my first time playing with the new OS (I'm buried under unix/OS X otherwise all day). Drink machine ate my $1.25. It's its own friendly way of reminding me not to purchase the junk it purveys. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Drink machine ate my $1.25. It's its own friendly way of reminding me not to purchase the junk it purveys. And to think that you dream of good healthy locally produced food! Reminds me of the scene on the Heart of Gold where all ship's resources were blindly dedicated to vending the perfect cup of tea. Meanwhile... And I won't ask about Vista!

Drink machine ate my $1.25. It's its own friendly way of reminding me not to purchase the junk it purveys. I was waiting for somebody to call me on that. I work on a hill away from civilization. The closest food source by a longshot are some lame vending machines. Once every 6-12 months I cave and get a treat. So sue me. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea. What is hard is to do it." - Jeanne-Claude |

... I cave and get a treat. So sue me. Who's Sue?! ;-) My occasional unhealthy treat is some chocolate. Usually so occasional that the chocolate has gone discloured from repeated temperature cycling! Otherwise, much less occasionally there's a beer or few... :-) Hang in there, Happy hackings, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

And I won't ask about Vista! I was kinda waiting for you to jump in on that! ;-) |

VxVM can speed up the 'fsck' time since only changes needs to be sync'd. |

Do you work near the 'ring' (ALS)? If so, I feel your vending machine pain, having to work there for 24h shifts once. Pretty far from anything, but when I found 'anything' it was 'nothing' much at all. Drink machine ate my $1.25. It's its own friendly way of reminding me not to purchase the junk it purveys.

I had to post after seeing the vending machine stuff. I put around $5 into those beasts every day. Too lazy to make lunch in the morning, so I eat out of the machines. Perhaps someone should combine the Pink Floyd songs "Money" and "Welcome to the Machine" and make it a vending machine tune. |
