Rosetta: Project News Dec 9, 2010

[RSS]

Today's heros are Keith and Darwin, our systems administrators and hardware architects. Yesterday, our main filesystem crashed hard. There were warning lights flashing behind every disk on the SAN and it looked pretty grim. Thankfully, Keith and Darwin were able to pinpoint the problem to two redundant laser modules for the fiber optic loops (it was amazing and unlucky that both failed). The laser modules have since been replaced and the filesystem is back up. We'll be starting up the project again shortly. Thanks for your patience.

In the same category, once lost three HD's in a RAID5 with a hot spare. Life sucked those two days. Now I carry one of these.%%-

I have a C6 corvette. New for the C6 is a keyless start button. Pushed the start button to start the car this morning..."no fob detected." Hmm. Okay, got the 2nd fob from the key tree, retry. "No fob detected" again. Yep, both fob batteries dead at the same time.

Read the manual (yes, a dead tree book thing), and there is a way to plug a dead fob into a slot in the glove box, and then the start button works. Got to work then store, bought batteries, and then all is working again. But wow. The backup (unused) fob dies at the same time or earlier than the used fob. Really?! :mad:
