It was night time and I was walking. I decided to walk through the |
| 12 |
garden which means crossing the ditch. Let's just say that first step |
| 13 |
was fun. When I looked at the ground, I was looking through the reading |
| 14 |
part. I found out it was deeper than my eyes said. |

Should I include the drive itself? Like sda, sdb etc. I could use my |
| 52 |
system name too. I'm on fireball and my older rig is named smoker. See |
| 53 |
a trend here? lol Anyway, this could work: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
fireball-sda |
| 56 |
fireball-sdb |
| 57 |
fireball-sdc |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
That would keep things straight I would think. Thoughts? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
If I do move one tho, I would likely erase the LVM stuff anyway. This |
| 62 |
rig is amd64 and my old rig is x86. It's not like I can move one to the |
| 63 |
other. Plus, smoker is IDE and fireball is SATA. I do have one IDE |
| 64 |
connector in fireball and a SATA card in smoker tho. It could happen. |

Jeepers, this could turn into a full blown meeting of the minds. O_O |
