Is that his way of announcing without announcing it that replacing trident has gone up ~7% from £205bn to £220bn?
Sorry for the radio silence. It's month end so the bean counters went into overdrive clamouring for all timecards and expenses to be submitted ASAP.
Didn't matter if your work schedule was fluid or unknown.
JUST FUCKING SUBMIT SOMETHING!
I was unable to comply because I was deluged by requests from sales for my forecast because I hadn't submitted my timecard yet.
Demoralised, beaten, I gave in and submitted.
Then my data didn't appear in the management reports after 24 hrs. Sigh.
Which in turn then prompts the question of whether one with suitable chicanery could set it up as a correct i-node which fsck would consider allocated, but that would be unfixable.
Presumably the reference counting checks would detect it as an an orphan, but putting a directory entry referencing it in lost+found would not work.
Assuming that the reference counting pass does not also have a < ROOTINO short-circuit in the code too. (-:
The same thought occurred to me. There have been cute tricks like that played. I've even played some of them on other systems.
But as far as I know that first entry in the i-node table was just unused.
I wonder whether fsck even checked it. Modern FreeBSD fsck_ffs does, but that's a very different beast.
