Hmmm. I sense another LONIX visit to the Blues Bar,
where Blind Boy Tet will sing the Sys Admins Blues,
which goes kinda like this:



Third parties sent us files too late for us to process them. Oh yeah.
Then,our Vertias cluster fell over,
and refused to come back up. 
Some of our servlets just mysteriously stopped working out of the blue.

But to top it off, one of our database servers, oh yeah
It managed to corrupt its mount table!
So a single slice was being used both as a UFS
filesystem (with Oracle on it) and as swap. 
To say I'm unimpressed would be an understatement...



(please now go off-stage and have a well deserved beer)
