My server's hard disk is dead!!

yeah sure thats why I am RHCE and work for one of the biggest server management companies in USA, managing over 500 servers myself, while you are a piece of shit trying to make a few bucks installing wordpress modules

the drive failed because it was faulty, and FYI I run smartctl and badblocks every week and they never showed anything wrong



I know what that is, I rebooted forcing fsck "shutdown -rF now" (take note of the command in case you ever need it damn fucking idiot) but showed a ton of errors and after another reboot the disk was dead

Now that you probably googled for all those weird commands come back tomorrow for more linux classes stupid motherfucker

Marry Xmas

Sysadmin fights are the best!

Did you let the drive cool all the way down and try spinning it up again? I've recovered data from a drive with bad bearings by putting it into a ziplock bag and putting it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then installing it, copying what I could, and doing it all over again.

Also, 500 servers yourself is a bunch of BS unless all you do is fix them as they go bad. As cheap as drives are you should be doing RAID1.
