Life really has a way to kick you in the teeth sometimes
So I woke up this morning and apollo, the main server for the house was off in the weeds smoking crack or something. This worried me as it doesn’t often crash and that usually means something really not good is going on. Sure enough a quick reboot shows a whole bunch of errors on boot and the 3-Ware drive array has a giant DEGRADED tag on it.
Sigh. Figures.
I tried to rebuild the array hoping it was a recoverable error with the drive…
3w-xxxx: scsi2: AEN: INFO: Rebuild started: Unit #0.
3w-xxxx: scsi2: AEN: ERROR: Drive error: Port #0.
3w-xxxx: scsi2: AEN: ERROR: Rebuild failed: Unit #0.
That’s how well that went. I went out and bought a replacement hard drive, so I’m waiting to get the motivation to install it and rebuild the array. It is not exactly a fast process.
3w-xxxx: scsi2: Found a 3ware Storage Controller at 0×1810, IRQ: 17.
Vendor: 3ware Model: Logical Disk 0 Rev: 1.2
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00
SCSI device sdd: 1465185024 512-byte hdwr sectors (750175 MB)
In other general news, work is okay I’m not entirely burnt out yet nor terribly bored but I am somewhat frustrated with things in general. All hail the company though I suppose, I really wish that it wasn’t such a fight to get the raise I was promised…. 6 months ago. I have to go to Pennsylvania next week for two days before Ami and Sanford’s wedding to visit the telco we bought down there. It’s kind of pointless, none of my systems are really affected in any way by this, the hard work is all being done by other people and systems. My stuff will be extremely minimal so I don’t know why I’m getting dragged down but I don’t really have a choice.
Otherwise life is finally returning to normal, I still miss Carla but it’s not keeping me awake at night anymore. I think our friendship is getting stronger all the time despite the stress we’re both going through which is a good sign. I’m getting geared up to move at the end of the year, I’m looking forward to living alone for a little while.
