A power spike has just taken out my server. Arse.

You should have invested in a UPS.

Sad fact: I used to host a couple of personal websites from a laptop.
Certainly saved buying a UPS.

I run a mail server from a lapop for the same reason. I wrote a script to
interact with APMD letting me know by email when and if it switches from AC
to battery and vice versa. APMD is a great.

I did. It died a year ago. Actually, the one I bought (second hand)
died four years ago, the one that died last year was one I blagged. I
use scrounged and cobbled-together equipment, always have. Sometimes
I wish I didn't. Like - right now for instance.

To be fair I would have been up & running ages ago if my Linux admin
skills weren't so rudimentary. I'm taking the opportunioty of some
downtime to make a few changes which have been pending for a while.
The disks are now back online, with only one bad inode to show for it.

Cue Murphy's first two laws:

1. If something can go wrong it will go wrong
2. When it does go wrong the first person past the door will tell you how you
could have avoided it going wrong.

Journalling file systems are your friend.

Having said that, I should get my act into gear and stick a UPS on my
machine at home. Nearly got round to using a spare one from the lab but it
then found a use (and is quite heavy to lug home on the bike.)
