[Yesterday: ran 10 miles; today rowed 45 minutes]<\/p>\n
We had trouble with the radio station computer last Sunday and it kind of fixed itself in the afternoon and I went on with things.<\/p>\n
But then today, I was actually doing some work trimming up some poems and the thing suddenly stopped talking to me.\u00a0 So I went out to the shack and saw it was spitting out disk errors.<\/p>\n
I had had the same issue last week, but when it started working again I looked at the disk error logs and everything looked fine.\u00a0 So I was pretty much convinced it was the driver or maybe the SATA parts on the motherboard.<\/p>\n
So today I swapped the drives into the machine which is doing our streaming.\u00a0 And I got the same error.\u00a0 Really.\u00a0 One of the drives has gone bad to such a degree that it sometimes won’t even talk to the BIOS.<\/p>\n
I have two drives and they are mirrored using Linux software mirroring.\u00a0 So I haven’t lost any of my data.\u00a0 I was able to get the system (the same old one I have been using) to boot off the 2nd drive and everything is working now.\u00a0 I have ordered a new drive so that I can rebuild the mirrored set-up.<\/p>\n
I was telling my wife, the way a “real” business would do this would be to buy a $20,000 disk array with hot swappable disks.\u00a0 Since I’ve filled up about half of these 3 TB drives, I wish I had a 20 TB disk array.\u00a0 But I don’t \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 so we keep moping along on the cheap with Linux dual-drive mirroring.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if I’ve said it directly before:\u00a0 Everything on the radio station comes off of the computer.\u00a0 I don’t have\u00a0 a studio or a microphone hooked to a mixer board.\u00a0 So when the computer is out the station has nothing to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
