[12:25] <jrwren> oh this is weird... cron just stopped working.
[12:26] <jrwren> at 7:45 cron jobs ran, but I had things scheduled for 8 and 8:02 and they didn't run.
[12:29] <jrwren> oh shit... 7:52 syslog stopped too.
[12:29] <jrwren> ugh... ROFS
[13:01] <cmaloney> jrwren: Oof
[13:01] <cmaloney> hardware issue?
[15:21] <jrwren> maybe. hope that disk isn't failing.
[18:08] <Scary_Guy> Well failing is at least still better than failed.
[18:19] <Scary_Guy> How a guy brought fiber to a rural area West of Ann Arbor (with video) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24424910
[18:55] <jrwren> reboot and an fsck seems to have fixed it. YAY
[19:00] <cmaloney> woo woo
[19:01] <cmaloney> might want to do a smart test on it just to be sure
[19:02] <jrwren> I think I have regular alarms for that on all my disks.
[19:02] <cmaloney> I did a defrag on a 2TB drive, only to find that it was having issues
[19:02] <jrwren> yeah, smartd is running
[19:02] <cmaloney> Good deal
[19:03] <cmaloney> I mean, SMART is generally a lying tool, but it's a good way to check between between last gasp and completely screwed
[19:04] <jrwren> `for i in /dev/sd? ; do sudo smartctl -H $i ; done`  wow, some of htem don't respond to smart commands... maybe the USB interface is eating the commands.
[19:04] <cmaloney> smart doesn't work over USB iirc
[19:04] <jrwren> so weird.
[19:04] <jrwren> you'd think ATA commands are ATA commands.
[19:04] <cmaloney> You've been around long enough to know that's never true.
[19:05] <cmaloney> :)
[19:05] <cmaloney> Some weenie saves $.005 on a die by not implementing anything other than the bare minimum to make something read and write data
[19:06] <jrwren> yup
[19:06] <jrwren> so sad
