Thursday… a few more (computer) snagettes!
Nov 29th 2007PeterTech stuff
Hmm – it didn’t go quite as smoothly as I had hoped! For some reason (I think I know why – do do with the fact that the disk had been cloned from a previous RAID array and also a power supply connector problem preventing proper operation of that disk) the computer started treating the two drives in the RAID array as two separate arrays with one drive in each! It took a bit of sorting, but after checking (and double checking!) the drives, the solution was to erase one, and then re-configure it into the proper array and rebuild it. This is a seamless and transparent background process (I hope) but takes some time as is happening at the moment. There is one other thing to do after that, but then all should be well!
Enough of computer stuff! Richard asked about the mouse repeller! Well it seems to be working in that I haven’t heard any mice in the attic above the bedroom since it was installed, but that is a long way from the attic above the kitchen, where the latest problems have been. However I haven’t caught any more mice since the weekend!
My best wishes go to Simon (BT fame) who I said I heard from last week. He has since posted a couple of comments here and here describing a medical snagette of his own. Simon – we are all with you – keep smiling!
Finally, Elspeth, of Elspeth’s blog fame and fellow LeukaemiaCARE volunteer is off on some exciting travels in the New Year. I’m thinking of setting up a gallery in her blog so she can post her photos there! Good to see that all is well after her medical issues.
So onwards and upwards!
