what's up with that?

I finally finally finally got this god damn NFS to work the way I want.

I could mount the drive but it was being such a biatch with permission errors when I would try to actually write to it. All of that is fixed now.

Now I have my wanna-be NetApp .snapshots partition holding all of the website and email backups.

I refrain from using the term loser, but I'm definitely bording or have delved deep into 'geek-dom'.

Problem: sgi_fam won't load correctly causing the IMAP logs to show the following:

fpos imapd: Failed to create cache file: maildirwatch (jcloth)
fpos imapd: Error: Input/output error
fpos imapd: Check for proper operation and configuration
fpos imapd: of the File Access Monitor daemon (famd).

Briefly explained in a previous blog

So this morning I was determined to get sgi_fam to work correctly.

fpos xinetd[29411]: pmap_set failed. service=sgi_fam program=391002 version=2
fpos xinetd[29411]: Service sgi_fam failed to start and is deactivated.
fpos xinetd[29411]: xinetd Version 2.3.13 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
fpos xinetd[29411]: Started working: 0 available services

I try to downgrade back to the original version of xinetd.

fpos xinetd[29857]: pmap_set failed. service=sgi_fam program=391002 version=2
fpos xinetd[29857]: xinetd Version 2.3.11 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
fpos xinetd[29857]: Started working: 0 available services

..tried a few tweaks..

fpos xinetd[29892]: pmap_set failed. service=sgi_fam program=391002 version=2
fpos xinetd[29892]: xinetd Version 2.3.11 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.

fpos xinetd[29918]: Started working: 0 available services

.."hmmm... I wonder if there's a stale process"..

[root@fpos fam-2.7.0]# rpcinfo -p

100000 2 udp 111 portmapper

..restart the portmapper..

fpos portmap: portmap shutdown succeeded
fpos portmap: portmap startup succeeded

fpos xinetd[30031]: xinetd Version 2.3.11 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
fpos xinetd[30031]: Started working: 1 available service

Since Feb 22nd, all I had to do to get the mofo to work was restart the portmapper.

**smacking forehead**
stupid stupid stupid

Gun shots were fired and Mac ended up being the winner.

What a good boy!!

what's up with that?

Ever since the knee surgery I've slowly been getting myself back in shape with high impact upper body weight lifting and very low impact workouts on my legs.

...then today, I look in the mirror and realize that I haven't been this 'in shape' since I hurt my shoulders playing hockey almost 3 years ago. I've even gone down to the 3rd notch on my belt.

When you are unable to use your arms at a high impact, it's amazing how weak they can become. Still to this date, my left Posterior Deltoid and Lateral Deltoid muscles burn as I workout because they have gone so long without any real strain. I had nursed them for so long because that's right in the area that I had the shoulder surgery.

All that I'm waiting for is the swelling in my knee to go down, so I can get back to playing hockey and burn off all this excess baby fat... which will also help build up the cardio that I'm so desperately needing.
