Suddenly without Music!

[elfs]

I was working from home last week and missed a critical memo. The cluster stability was now running an OS three-years out of date, and would be shut down. Please migrate any data kept on stability to a new filestore cluster.

Yeah, I missed that memo.

970 albums wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Frack.

Well that's craptastic.

Oh, I *HATE* it when that happens.

I have them all at home. Guess I'll have to find a way to get them all onto an external hard drive and bring them in.

You can't just scp them in?

Or mount from home via some remote filesystem? That's what I do. I've got a VPN from the office (and laptop) to home, where I mount my fileserver via sshfs. I can't do video, but audio works just fine.

In theory, I could. But the fileserver at home is off most the time because the power supply is dying and I've been too lazy to replace it; the firewall is extraordinarily paranoid, and doesn't allow any incoming connections at all; and Omaha depends on that bandwidth during office hours since she works from home.

Ah. Well, you *could* just scp them into the office overnight then. Might be faster, even throttled, then finding an external drive.

Were there any backups of it taken recently, that you might be able to restore somewhere and grab the music out of?

Sadly, no. My company eats its own dogfood.
