What Are You Doing Right Now

Oh okay. that's not a problem with the hot swapping, it's a problem with the RAID level and the age or fragility of the drives. Hot swapping was still the right thing to do there, it just wasn't enough to have saved you.
Yeah I knew what to do, certainly.
- Swear incessantly.
- Figure out there are no replacement drives in my office, swear again.
- Find a replacement drive online ASAP. Get drive shipped overnight along with additional replacement drives.
- Replace new drive as soon as it arrives the next day.

@BRRABill Wait for another drive to fail while the system is rebuilding... Swear some more... Restore from backups.

I'm surprised how often this comes up. Are there really so many people that have RAID and servers but are not aware of what to do when a drive fails? I mean, maybe no one teaches this stuff but it seems so ridiculously obvious that when the drive fails you replace it ASAP. I mean, what do they think that the RAID is for or is doing? This is an honest question, don't mean to berate the person in question as this comes up quite often. Clearly there is a gap in training somewhere because this requires zero technical knowledge. It's like "when do you replace a tire"... um, the moment that the original one blows.

I think it's more than lack of training, I think it's lack of common sense. We're slowly heading towards idiocracy. "Welcome to Costco, I love you".
More like Buttf**kers - that was my favorite part.. damn good movie.

So I made a script that creates VDI containers and then you can connect with x2go. I have a default container with everything installed (it would take way too much time and resources to upgrade each one and pull in xfce and x2go for every container) and it just clones the container, removes the default user and creates a new user (I'm hoping to make it parse a csv file for the users), and sets a temporary password that is changed on the first login.
I wanted to use ansible but lxc_clone isn't in the module yet. I guess it is but it's only in version 2, and the ppa only pulls to 1.9.4 (I could download from github but at this point it was easier to make a bash script). It works pretty well.

One thing I realized would be nice about this is you can do incremental file level backups from the host. So when Susan accidentally deletes her picture of her cat and realizes it an hour later afterwards, you can just grab that file without restoring the whole container and her losing the last hours worth of work. I mean you can do this with an agent also obviously, but it's nice to be able to do it from the host all at once.

Fixed a battery operated toy for mini-nadnerB by jamming folder pieces of paper between the batteries and the cover to keep the batteries in place on the contacts. My MacGyver Dad skills have increased slightly.
