ffs!
well, the ext3 problem reared its ugly head again a few days ago. I then resorted to backing up my apparently fucked root filesystem to an alternative slower disk and rebuilding from a debian amd64 netinstall cd. Once the box was back up I mounted the backed up disk as read only and casually rsync’d configs and data back as appropriate.
To top things off, my Linksys ADSL2MUE adsl modem fucked up and died what I hope to have been a slow painful death as well, considering the greif it gave me over the last 24 hours while reconfiguring it. I’m now back to my ‘ol trusty dlink DSL300 adsl modem. In less than 24 hours I have already lost line sync once so it’s prolly a good idea that I looked for a new adsl modem that has bridged mode support yes, I love my bridged mode, it removes all the bullshit crap from the modem and relies on my trusty debian firewall to do all the important work, which obviously I have more trust in…
