( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Daily, and I just had my most recent "thank the maker" experience from that.

Thursday, I had backed up my laptop at 9am, to a bootable clone, as I do daily, every day that I'm home.

At noon, I rebooted my machine to finish the installation of something that wanted a reboot (rare on OSX, but it happens).

The reboot failed. Two hours later, with all the various attempts at fsck's and safe boot, it still wouldn't boot.

So, I booted from my external clone, and it came up (albeit slowly). After a two-hour "clone the external back into the internal" sequence, my internal is rebootable again. Yeah.

Thank the maker. I lost a couple of podcast masters that I had created in the meanwhile, but far better than losing months of work.

ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS. DAILY.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
