  1. I hate fscks that don't provide a progress report.
  2. When you're fscking, don't fucking touch the keyboard. Especially don't hit the up arrow or the enter key so that the forty-minute fsck is repeated; you'll have to kill it and the disk will be marked dirty.
  3. Make sure power cords can't be removed from servers.

  5. Non-journaled filesystems are for the fucking birds.
  6. Make sure that your SCSI cables are firmly fastened.
