by Vasil KolevI feel sleepy the whole day, and I have no idea why…
Today I didn’t get to setting up some other server – at adsys the last thing they needed was the itanic and the xeon that I configured as gateway to generate noise, so I just make a map of the ports and vlans, and configured the switch (to be noted – the configuration of the switch through a web interface is a stupid idea, and just begs for something like “I just cut the branch I was sitting on”).
At some moment Ogi called (who was mentioned at slashdot these days, because of the patch he’s written for Hurd :) ), to tell me that because of the last brownouts at FMI zver didn’t boot – the bios of one of the raid controllers got messed up, and was giving problems with its logical drive. In the end one going through the bios solved the problem (I had remotely decided that there was some kind of other problem, and asked Ogi not to touch the bios but it turned out that I was wrong).
And I have second drive for my raid, and right in the moment it’s rebuilding. It was a bit strange procedure to add it, because until now I had one drive in JBOD, so firstly at adsys I had a RAID1 array made on two drives, got one of them, to have an array in degraded mode, then copied the old one onto it, and then rebuilt the array
Most of the time I was having a nap on the couch, until Velin (who has something really evil in him, when it comes to me sleeping on the couch) called to ask something, and woke me up. I understand him when he comes home, and wants to sleep there, but the remote kicking out of the couch I can’t accept…
Tomorrow I’ll have to get up early, there is a press conference for the expo, part of which is the hack contest. Who has decided for these things to be in the morning, what’s the problem for it to be at two in the afternoon..
