Amiga LAN
« on: April 15, 2004, 07:01:54 PM »
Yesterday, I physically lost a harddrive in my Pegasos (looking for the reciept still, I want my money back or an exchange.. grr... It's a Western Digital 40G..)

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I began testing Envoy on the Pegasos under MorphOS. (Between two Pegs).  I began to back all my work related stuff to the other machine.  Now, after the death of this hard-drive, I've began the long road to recovery.  I immediately re-install envoy, and start copying a few files over.

Okay, all the above is lead up... I am in the middle of a large filecopy now, and so far I've copied over 12040 files from one system to the other over the network.  That may not be terribly impressive to some, but I can't help but to be somewhat impressed.  That's a huge amount of files to transfer even on local disks (especially considering that many of them were over 3 and 4M each).  

Ah well, I just thought I'de share this with everyone :-)
Regards,
Targhan

Well, it had a bunch of errors on it yesterday morning when I woke up, and when I tried to access it--it made sounds like something from a machine shop.  Finally, the drive didn't sound like it was spinning at all, but I could hear the clicks from the arm (or whatnot).  It's dead.

Now, I wouldn't say that Western Digitals are all horrid, because I've got one in several machines here.  Still, it did make for a rather, erm, unpleasant day yesterday.
Regards,
Targhan
