It's just a flesh wound
I was gonna make May's monthly memento something May Day related but I might have to make it a superduperturboenfuckulator
both of them, both efi partitions are superduperturbofucked, one drive has logical sectors not the same as physical sectors and the other drive's all "what's a sector," what a week
ya this partition is fucking hosed
I've been smoking WAY too much these past few days
Current theory is that this happened:
* we had two drives, both mirrored /, /boot and /swap and had not-mirrored efi partitions
* at some point, probably while I was doing hard power-cycle resets during the AI slopbot attack 'cause nothing else would get through, drive A got a fucked up efi partition
* the machine kept booting fine off drive B
* drive B died and was replaced with drive B2
* I copied fucked table from drive A to drive B2
Yeah it's 11:30 at night and I rrrrreally don't wanna go with Plan B, emergency server migration and restore from backup, but it's looking increasingly likely
Still working on it, breaking for dinner
There was a thing at the pinball place we called the Tech Black Hole, where you see a guy next to an open machine scratching his head so you go over and see if he needs any help and half an hour later there's four guys around the open machine scratching their heads
We've reached the stage where I'm recruiting my IRL techy friends to come and gawp at this shit
Like when you go to the doctor for what you think is just a little mole or something and they go "I see, yes, I'm gonna get a second opinion" and then they bring in ten more guys who drop their coffees and shout FUCK ME LOOK AT THAT
