I have issues, OK!
I recently had a pretty spectacular blow out with my b/w G3.
I have/had my mac set up with OSX on one partition; formatted as UFS and two other regular HFS+ partitions. I used OSX purely for developing PHP4.
Anyway, at my office, I have access to a leased line (128k/sec) so a colleague and myself decided to see if we could get my OSX up and running as a server.
After less than ten minutes - most of which was spent trying to get the PC router and firewall to work properly - we had success!..
So, that evening I accessed my mac from home via ftp and afp as well as the web to see what was what .. all was fine and dandy.
Go to work the next day .. everything was not fine and dandy!..
The machine had died a death and when I forced a restart it had managed to kill not only the internal hard disks but an external lacie 20gig firewire as well, which I've never seen before, at least not on a mac.
All I was left with was a few folders but no files at all .. oh, except the 'system' file in the 'system folder' on the boot disk.
Question 1: what the HELL happenned?!.
Question 2: how do I avoid doing the same thing again with my brand spankin' new G4 quicksilver?..
