So I’m working on a server from home.
I do a cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate and it says unknown despite the interface being obviously up, since I’m SSH’ing into the box.
I try to explicitely set the interface up to force the status to say up with ip link set eth0 up. No joy, still unknown.
Hmm… maybe I should bring it down and back up.
So I do ip link set eth0 down and… I drive 15 miles to work to do the corresponding ip link set eth0 up
50 years using Unix and I’m still doing this… 😥
I formated an OS drive by mistake last night, thought it was my flash drive…
Almost did the same last night on a device that has its internal drive (flash) mounted as mmc and the USB drive was sda
That entire scenario scares me lol
I started to DBAN (wipe) my internal drive once instead of an attached drive. That was the last time I ran DBAN on a machine with any drives of value plugged in.
