“Are you on the way back to Boca Raton [1]?” asked Smirk.

“Not yet. Why?”

“Well, can you stop by The Data Center on the way home? There's a box there
that needs rebooting.”

“Okay,” I said and hung up.

So that's how I found myself standing in The Data Center at 11:45pm waiting
for a recalcitrant box to finish running fsck. It may be a fast box, but the
drives are either ridiculously huge, ludicrously slow, or both.

Sigh.

And there's only so much web browsing one can do at the command line.
