Pain in the disk…

So, the primary hard disk of they.com died.

Actually, from a sysadmin point of view, only the secondary disk died (/home). So, all user data was lost, but all the configuration files (/etc) are intact.

Everyone else believes the primary disk died. I’ll leave the evil sysadmin grin to your imagination…

Oh, and most of our spam databases survived, as well.

Anyone know how everyone’s least favorite Slidell, LA spammer fared?

For what it is worth, they are celebrating their 20th anniversary by installing a new hard drive…

Life imitates art…
