Oh Hardware, how I hate thee!

March 25, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Well, there went 2 days of my life I won’t get back. 🙂 About 2 weeks ago, when I booted up my SLES 64-bit Linux server, it complained about issues with the hard drive. So, I ran “fsck” to fix the file system issues. There was only a couple of problems then everything was fine. […]

February 13, 2019 Roger Lacroix
