Thursday, September 28
Had a little excitement at work today. Apparently several blocks of Sydney's CBD went dark, including, of course, our office. Our elderly UPS valiantly struggled along for nearly a minute before expiring; the blackout itself lasted about an hour and a half.
Then I had to fix pretty much everything. Crashed databases, lost routing tables, failed NFS mounts (the systems didn't neatly reboot in the required order), unending fscks (This volume has not been checked for 562 days* so I'm now going to scan every one of your seven million files and there's nothing you can do to stop me so nyah.), broken RAID sets, misconfigured network cards...
Ugh.
Knoppix was used. It would have been even more not fun without Knoppix.

And of course, every temp fix that could not withstand a reboot blew up at once.

Is this why your site had an odd look to it last night? Or was that something else?

Hmmm... 10 points for triticale for ultimate truthiness, minus several million for completely whiffing on the joke.
To be fair, I don't know where in the world Trit is located, so it's certainly possible that he's not familiar with Penthouse magazine...
