OK, this is too funny. I'm sitting here in the dark browsing around on |
| 2 |
my home machine while I'm doing an eix-sync. I have my legs crossed, |
| 3 |
sitting in my chair that swivels, and guess what...my big toe is at |
| 4 |
__exactly__ the height of the main power button on my APC UPS, and |
| 5 |
darn if I don't hit it and power is gone! |
| 6 |
|

The machine booted and came back up with no obvious problems but when |
| 8 |
I tried to continue with the eix-sync I get some pretty messed up |
| 9 |
messages, ala: |

I tried removing the timestamp file to get it to sync again but that |
| 28 |
didn't fix it. |

How does a big-toe guy regenerate the database emerge --sync normally |
| 31 |
keeps for my machine? |
