Quote of the Week

Ramblings / August 16, 2008 / John / 0

 While crawling about the back of a server rack connecting serial ports to a serial console server, I was asked what I was doing.

“Connecting these machines to the serial console so I can identify and label them.”

“It would be quicker to set up a running ping and then yank the cables out and see which one stops responding.”

“These servers are running Oracle, with the datafiles stored on an NFS server.”

“We could do it really really quickly.”

Some people are alive simply because it’s illegal to kill them.
