There was some talk tonight about hard drive failures. I couldn't
remember the name of the tool set I had used to solve some long
standing flakiness that came down to small errors beginning to show up
on some older drives.
I spent countless hours blaming one thing and another before finally
looking at the hardware. I tossed four old drives after I learnt some
of my way around this software. As a consequence the software I was so
frustrated with seems to magically have been transformed into
usefulness on the new drives..
Hope this helps someone out
Thanks Bill for a good presentation tonight.
