Wow. ST3000NM0033 just 4.3 years shy came back with a 188 Command_Timeout of 60130459662.

This server houses either a vermin nest of some sort or someone fcked up plugging a gorram cable. Either way it’s pants on fire.

Update:

2nd act as .

We complained.
They rejected,
no error to be detected.

Bewildered we insisted,
and grumbling they assisted.

You wonder if we have a backup?
oc, always prepared for such a f… mess.
