Interesting. I ran across this on the Quote Database: http://qdb.us/42848 <Workdae> i have the most hilarious issue i just picked up <Workdae> and i can say it without compromising details, and it'd still be hilarious <Workdae> i'm not sure where this customer got this command, or who told him it'd update his server...but he ran this command thinking it'd update his server: <Workdae> dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hda bs=1M <Workdae> (if you value your data and you run linux, don't test it to find out what it does) <Workdae> anyway, he put in the ticket that the server had been updating for a while, and that now he can't connect to it -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
