“Are you on the way back to Boca Raton [1]?” asked Smirk.
“Not yet. Why?”
“Well, can you stop by The Data Center on the way home? There's a box there that needs rebooting.”
“Okay,” I said and hung up.
So that's how I found myself standing in The Data Center at 11:45pm waiting for a recalcitrant box to finish running fsck. It may be a fast box, but the drives are either ridiculously huge, ludicrously slow, or both.
Sigh.
And there's only so much web browsing one can do at the command line.
