fucker s acting up
probably my fault too.. whatever really. I know I shouldnt randomly kill processes. Certainly not mysql.. But at least now, by this time tomorrow I’ll recognise that type of damage if I d ever come across of it. .. its a sad excuse, whatever. Was worth the try. I killed some other random processes too..
Lets hope it magically gets fixed.
Coz I wont solve it tonight.
blah blah blah
go fuck yourself.
Edit
boring
the disk filled up. its sad. no fun weird database error crap.
boring. & solved.
& my logfile isn in the wrong place.
now for that other annoying problem – boring problem too

Obviously some sort of scene involving “a strong flow of something, especially fluids and particles, and in particular water or rain.” (according to Wikipedia)
I dont get it.
& I should get an UPS! Asap! Stat! Because power failures suck!

The junk was still disconnecting too much; having to constantly restart .. Manually .. annoying!
So more scripting was called for. It works
Nice..
magic () {
mount /dev/sd*1 /mnt/disk/
rsync -rLkh –size-only –progress /mnt/data/ /mnt/disk/Gert/
if [[ $( ls /mnt/disk | grep error ) = "error" ]]; then
echo Probably Done 
else
umount /mnt/disk/
magic
fi
}
magic
Why the lame ls test? Because the -e (exists) test gave false positives (annoying) and the (lame) ls – grep test doesnt. It works
The potential endless loop is fun too.. but I do believe rsync will be able to do a full test without the disk dying on me again.. mount sd*1 isnt too beautifull either, but there is only 1 sd device connected and it works, so fuck that too
Actually, fuck it all
Hehe

is about not wanting to put more effort into something than necessary. (Not that I am saying that I’m spectacularly good at IT, but if anything, I believe I am getting better at it
)
I have this disk that constantly disconnects & takes a new device. First its sda, then its sdb. Viva gigantic external USB disks! Anyone storing data on external disks is MAD. Anyone using those disks to store things they dont want to lose is UTTERLY INSANE and Should Be COMMITTED! Fuck off & get to Arkham Assylum!
Anywho, thanks to the guy who lent me his external disk where he puts all the stuff I needed. I’m copying the data you asked for. Its a wad & I dont feel like living trough that HELL I just went trough in getting the data! So I needed something to help me & while rouso was sleeping on my left arm, I read the rsync manpage. Yeah, I read manpages. Sometimes I even print them & take them to bed.. although that might have been some exageration.
Anywho, I didnt really appreciate rsync & I should, because its AWSOME
(Read the manpage, you ll probably fall in love! I nearly did, luckilly I still like Viona & Emacs beter!!) Though, this is the command thats saving me..
rsync -rLkh –size-only –progress /mnt/data/path/ /mnt/disk/path/
& now, next time shit hits the fan, I’ll just remount the disk & start the rsync again! It ll check what files were already copied & continue from there. Good question here is if the checking wont take too long at the end of the process if it fails then .. but I’m honestly hoping I wont have to find out. (I wonder if anyone is actually reading this) There s a big chance it ll fail me there though :/
Anywho. I didnt feel like putting too much effort into the copying and that might sound lazy.. but in the end I learnt a lot about rsync & saved a whole lot of time over the next few days in getting the job done. Not to mention that I am now more likely to make that deadline!
yaay for everyone & yaay for lazyness!

I’m dying here.. My stomach is killing me!
I’ve been waking up with reflux the last few weeks. Apparently last night I ate something wrong & now my stomach is Killing me!
Why? Probably the same reason my heart acted up after my dad died. That was weird, this time, I knew to expect weird shit. So thist time its my stomach.. trying to burn a hole trough my bowels & all that. Auch!
Meds arent helping all that well. I need to get the discomfort to an acceptable level so that I can function.
annoying!
Also, I need a good nights sleep. This last night waking up again .. I was really hoping for a full night.
Auch again :/
