      Wondering how to test a SAS drive... one of my servers is showing 1 drive as "missing". We will be buying a new drive (or 2), but I'd love to be able to determine if it's actually the drive or some kind of cabling or backplane issue.

      SAS? They don't make USB to SAS cables like they do USB to SATA. I've got an external dock here I drop drives into, if they show up in the system, the drive requires more troubleshooting.

      My external dock is SATA. I guess I'll move drives around to see if it might be the drive slot. I've never seen a controller report a drive as missing when it was physically present. Usually says bad, failed, etc.

        Good idea. Start troubleshooting at the physical level.

            AT&T cell network is having issues, so agents here are getting flooded with calls. Oh, and imaging the bosses laptop, etc. Fun fun.

              Phones are down, so calls are coming in? Weird.

                Just got home, fairly shitty day...but this one sums it up....

                customer has a problem with a printer on a Mac, trying to fix it by removing and reinstalling etc, all the usual stuff. My test print works fine to it from word, but he's trying to print an excel sheet. Not got a clue (and I still hate macs) so tell him I'm going to do some research and is that ok. He says yes....so I look into it, find a few possible solutions, ring him back "Nope, you've run out of time, I have things to do now." - well....it's obviously not that ephin important then is it.

                /rant.

                            Really glad I have no Macs on my network. Have a simple 100% no net and no support rule for them.

                                Why do they need to? As you may know, I'm a developer myself and you can write pretty great cross-platform apps on Windows and Linux for example. Apache Cordova or Xamarin are just two frameworks for this.

                                  All that area is "don't ask, don't tell" for me personally. I don't give half a shit what they use, nor do I have any say in the matter. Or any technical knowledge to make such decisions, I am the most non-programmer of them all.

                                    takes shelter from incoming flames

                                    Like a religion on its own....

                                    Really glad I have no Macs on my network. Have a simple 100% no net and no support rule for them.

                                    Lucky bastard. Our devs have to have iMacs to make our iPad app. I try not to support them, and also our devs are smart and figure most of the issues out on their own.

                                    Our Mac users are similar but I dread their tickets. It's always some seriously fucked up bullshit.

                                      Just got home, fairly shitty day...but this one sums it up....

                                      customer has a problem with a printer on a Mac, trying to fix it by removing and reinstalling etc, all the usual stuff. My test print works fine to it from word, but he's trying to print an excel sheet. Not got a clue (and I still hate macs) so tell him I'm going to do some research and is that ok. He says yes....so I look into it, find a few possible solutions, ring him back "Nope, you've run out of time, I have things to do now." - well....it's obviously not that ephin important then is it.

                                      /rant.

                                      Mac users are the worst

                                      Why do they need to? As you may know, I'm a developer myself and you can write pretty great cross-platform apps on Windows and Linux for example. Apache Cordova or Xamarin are just two frameworks for this.

                                      All that area is "don't ask, don't tell" for me personally. I don't give half a shit what they use, nor do I have any say in the matter. Or any technical knowledge to make such decisions, I am the most non-programmer of them all.

                                      Hehe. These are the moments where it is just great to be root and lead dev at the same time 😉 Devs can't argue with BS at all

                                        The extent of my Mac/ipad support is mostly "can you type the wifi password in here?" and "do you have any AA batteries for the shitty wireless mouse/kbd?"
