9:50 - Timesheet in for last week.� 58.

- Pooh Bear (Whom I'm told has another nickname in the shop.� People call him Burt) asked me to fix perms on /orabackup on G/T.� Done.

-� Becky said she opened a ticket regarding slowdowns in Portal Prod

- CountryBoy hits me with this little gem:

CountryBoy: So, on Juno ... /home/XXXX directory ... permissions got hosed.� I'm trying to run a scripts and it's erroring out trying to delete some files in that directory.� Says 'read only file system'.

CountryBoy: Can you help, it's the content update script that's bombing.� Got something that needs to go to prod.

CoralineBlue: � Ok.� I'm looking.

CountryBoy: Thank You so much
CountryBoy: Can't chmod the files, even logged in as root.� One of the files is XXXXX.XXXX if that helps.

CoralineBlue: �� ok, sec
CoralineBlue: ��� oh boy

-- Looking @ Juno I see what he's talking about.� Can't read/write from that directory.� But that directory is on /media/hd2, which is a separate partition on a HUGE sanlun.� I umounted it and it gave errors.� I try to remount it:

[root@juno root]# mount -a
mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device
[root@juno root]# fdisk /dev/sdb

Unable to read /dev/sdb
[root@juno root]# fdisk /dev/sdb1

Unable to open /dev/sdb1
[root@juno root]# fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sdb1
Possibly non-existent or swap device?
[root@juno root]# fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
fsck.ext3: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdb
Could this be a zero-length partition?
[root@juno root]#

Called Slick to look at the storage on ESX host druid.� I asked him to detain and quarrantine Grandpa Simpson just because I KNOW he had something to do with this.� lol.� :)

- 11:30 Someone went into Navisphere and removed the disk from Juno...probably this morning.� I was using the system till 2am on Saturday, so I know it was recent.� Margie put everything back and I bounced Juno and its happy.

- Hoops asked me to dork with the nsswitch.conf settings on elf to see if we can get around this ldap auth timeout issue for sitescope.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr. Hoppy - I.T. Security LDAP Squirrelface - I.T. Security Accts Woodchuck - I.T. Security Accts Russian Bride - Application Tester Trisha - Testing AVP Tequila - UNIX Admin OPS Chops - UNIX Admin OPS Mac - UNIX Engineer (Contractor, works with Tequila & Chops) Margie - SAN specialist (ch)InkPen - Backup Specialist Chimpy - OPS Mgr Duke - UNIX Lead even though he knows nothing about UNIX
