/><br />It's sdb that's failing.<br /> <br />but assuming we can find a nice hard drive to replace the<br />one in there, can we just copy the failing drive?<br /><br /><br />If we're very lucky, but I would guess not. <br /><br />I think minotaur is a good box for low-CPU but critical<br />tasks like door opening and RFID alerting.<br /><br /><br />I think so too, and I'm glad it exists, but it's also become a bit of<br />a dumping ground for new projects that people want to talk to over the<br />network.<br />I'd much rather start offloading what we can onto raspberry pis, or<br />ethershield-ed arduinos.<br /><br />Minotaur being down also breaks in-space DNS, methinks.<br /><br />Maybe I should hack up a backup resolver on pony and re-point DHCP?<br />That's not the most reliable host either these days, with the UPS.<br /><br />--j <br /><br /><br />On Fri, 1 Feb 2013, Jonathan Lassoff wrote:<br /><br />And...
