Just finishing my pint after a 14oz Angus steak

Just browsed SW to help some people out. There's a CEO/CIO asking if he can fix his RAID10 array after blowing it away rather than restoring from a backup.
wtf?!

@MattSpeller 34 years and he can't figure out how to highlight the correct item in a BIOS menu? FIRED.

RIGHT?!?! Everyone makes mistakes but come on....
34 years in IT and dude buddy doesn't know that repairing an array is a friggin' nightmare compared to backups?
-
I believe you usually have a confirmation screen you have to accept when you initialize an array as well.
-
@MattSpeller and the sheer arrogance of a statement like "I assume most of the data is still there and possibly I nuked the first few bytes of some MBR-type table." That RAID card didn't know you wanted it initialized in order...

VP IT/CIO at CompanySomewhere, Somestate, United States34 years IT experienceA+, MCSE, Network+, Security+There was another post from a guy a while ago asking for router recommendations. A lot of people recommended and EdgeRouter and a Ubiquiti AP. He made another post saying he couldn't get the SSID to work (something stupid like that) and then finally ended up saying he was sending it back and getting something else.
I looked at his profile, 25 years in IT.......
These people must be counting from when they first heard the word "computer"

ROFL. I feel bad for those of us that really have been in some "IT" field since we heard the word computer. I was programming them before I could spell computer, lol (started when I was 5...)... I actually started making a few bucks working on people's computers when I was aorund 10... So I've been in IT for 26 years (I'm 36 now).

If we go by that standard, I've been in IT 30 years. Wow, I am so underpaid!

My 4th grade science fair project was on how a computer worked. I had the case open with spare parts as a diagram. I've had one since I was 3 or 4.
Around the same time as you I was working on them with my dad (he had a small shop). I'm only 29 so that's only 19 for me ha.

wtf?!
And the plot thickens... he's finally decided to go the route of restore from backups, but he's not sure how to do it.

Watching a Crashplan initial backup run... remaining time keeps going back and forth - 6 days.... 23 hours.... 5.3 days... 18 hours.... make up your mind already!
