So far today has officially been the worst day at work ever. One of my client's disks has crashed, taking five years of work with it. The backups for that disk were not working correctly because of a missing trailing / in the configuration file. It looks something like this:
/disk1/ -s
/disk2/ -s
/disk3 -s
In UNIX, the trailing slash is not required, the OS knows that a file is a directory by it's attributes. However, the piece of software in question is not so sophisticated, so that entire disk was not being backed up.
Anyone have a large building around that I could jump off of?
