Mmm... I'd be more worried about the fact he was a few minutes from blowing away your LVM PVs with parted. -

It sounds suspiciously like a couple of the field engineers that I've had visit in the past. Usually they're great and know exactly what they're doing but I've gotten a few where they should be renamed field monkeys because they're just there bashing on the keyboard hoping for something to happen.veritas_libertas wrote: »Yikes!

Where do I apply for this job? Don't get me wrong, I love to dig into things. But if I could be paid to go back to kindergarten, that would be even better.Decide what to be and go be it.
