Anyone got an ISA SCSI card and a couple of RAIDable drives they want
to offload for cheap?
Stupidity story:
I just managed to format my windows partition. I did format d:, it for
some reason had d: as a symlink of c:, but only at boot time, at least
that's what it looked like in w98. Linux saw a primary fat32 and an
extended with logical fat32, wrapped around an ext2 and a swap. Windows
did the format, then LILO decided on reboot that I didn't have an
operating system on hda1. Lovely.
Anyway, I'm taking this opportunity to completely repartition my
system. I've moved all my interesting bits to another box (all hail
samba). And am curious about the merits of a real redundancy system,
instead of arbitrarily copying stuff between machines. Saved my ass
this time. Hence the RAID stuff. Gonna put an old (ISA) box in the
attic and store my important stuff on RAID.
