UPDATE: I ran “time mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt” (under Unix, this will
time how long a command takes to run) and found that it took 7.08 seconds
in the kernel to mount the 17G harddrive under Linux 2.0.36 running
on a 486SX-33MHz. Ouch.
I also ran “time fsck -f -y /dev/hdb1” (under Unix,
this will check the consistency of the filesystem and make corrections. The
-f option forces the program to run, even if the filesystem isn't
corrupted) and it took almost 15 minutes to run. That on a clean
filesystem. I'd hate to think what it would do on a corrupted system.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
