So, I've got two more questions, one semi-technical, and one not:
- How do you delete the file system on a NetApp? If I want to newfs the
file system, how do I do it?
I think you do a floppy boot and you get a menu, you then do option 1 "Create new file system" or some such.
This takes a long time as it zeroes/initializes parity. I think it gives you an estimate of time...
(Don't ask why I don't know the exact details here:-)
- What are the various names people have given their machines? We've had
toaster, blender, fridge, icebox, tv, vcr, vaccuum, washer, compactor, furnace, and microwave. (No, we don't have that many netapps--some of these names are on different interfaces of the same boxes, or a box that was retired, and then reused elsewhere with a different name.)
maytag is popular. We've been using machine tool names "bosch", "makita".
Appliance brand names are fun: whirlpool, kenmore, etc.
While we are not "NAC" anymore, early on people had fun with "ixnac", "nicnac", etc.
