yes folks, i have but to fsck my volume and the goddamned t3 reboots itself. this means that this is A Guaranteed Good Time.

anyone have a spare E5500 and a handful of sbus fcal cards with gbics they aren’t using?

update: oh, never mind. the 5500 isn’t at fault. the t3 fried. HOORAY FOR TAPE! alas, if only it had waited to die until after last night’s backup would have run. two day old backups suck.
