Not much I can add to what [livejournal.com profile] ramtops has already written, but our day of hardware hell seems to be almost over - if that’s not tempting fate.

I’ve been without computer all day, too, as I keep /home on the server that died. Nice to see this box spring back into life without a qualm though, as soon as the rebodied detritus appeared. Can’t say the same about Windows; our PDC is complaining that it’s lost its “trust relationship” with the box. Different MAC address, maybe, but I haven’t the brainpower right now to do anything about it.

Never mind about setting up the new SATA disks as a RAID1 pair, migrating the linux install onto them and swapping out the old drive so I can connect the (PATA) internal removable backup drive. And whatever else needs doing that I haven’t thought of yet.

Hardware. Hate. HATE. Hatety Hate McHate.

It was going to be easy, wasn't it? New 2200VA UPS courtesy [livejournal.com profile] agc, new batteries for our brace of old 420VA UPSen. Move the 420s to the study, one for each of [livejournal.com profile] ramtops' and my workstations, with the comms stack running off one too; run the W2KAS and Linux servers off the 2200.

It was never going to happen, was it? )
