Wyvern is operational again. After spending far too long getting eye
strain from reading the 5pt printing in the green guide of today's
paper, I discovered that the computer shop on campus has power
supplies for much the same price — $60 and a ten minute at lunch time
was much easier than running half-way around town to save a whole ten
dollars! I did end up with a supply that can support a P4, should I
get around to upgrading the box — and the Abit IT7-RAID motherboard is
looking kinda nice....
... and after seeing yet another mention of the CODA file system on
one of my mailing lists, I tried to install the coda client on my
laptop: Simply run the installer, pick C:\win32\cygwin, restart the
machine, run a shell and start the services:
$ net start coda The coda service was started successfully. ajft@NBK-9978 ~ $ net start venus The venus service is starting. The venus service could not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 1067 has occurred. The process terminated unexpectedly.
It was even more interesting when I then tried to stop the coda service... instant blue screen.
All part of the grand scheme for one decent, replicated, file store of everything I have!
