I’m currently in the proccess of ripping my CD collection and discovered this hidden track on one of our old band CDs. I’d completely forgotten about it and thought it was amusing enough to incude here. It was from back when we were still calling ourselves BIMA.

While I was reading a post about Keanu Reeves on Slashdot, I was reminded of a song our old band Taxi recorded (but never released). This is one of Seamus’ classics and I’m sure he won’t mind me including it here. The song comes with a language warning…..

Thank You

SunBlog: Changing a disk label (EFI / SMI)

The above blog link saved me a bunch of time so I thought I’d link it here with the hope that some other Sysadmin may be saved a bit of frustration.

I’d installed Solaris10 10/08 on an Sun Ultra2 and was looking to setup a mirrored root using:

zpool attach rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0

The error I received was:

Device is too small

I thought this was a bit odd considering that both drives are exactly the same size. After much googling I discovered the above link and using format -e as described in the blog post, changed the drive’s label from an EFI label to an SMI, and voila..all problems solved and the aforementioned Ultra2 is now booting from a mirrored root.

Thank you Mike Brannigan
