Emissions Testing and Terabytes
I guess it matters where you have your car emissions tested and repaired. As
written earlier, the car failed emissions testing with essentially the same
numbers as the test two years ago. At that point, the shop could not figure
out what was wrong and we ended up spending about 600 dollars to get all of
the obvious things out of the way. To no avail. This time, I used a smaller,
more specialized emissions shop, and they were dead-on in determining that
it was the O2 sensor all along. So, now I have a car that once
again passes these tests with a good margin of error. There is also a good
chance that it will burn less gas.
In other news, at work, I finally got my hands on a machine that has storage in excess of a Terabyte:
pats@backup:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 3.7G 466M 3.1G 14% / /dev/sda3 1.5T 52G 1.4T 4% /data
Using a 6-disk RAID5 array, this momentous day marks the next power-of-ten for me. Now, on to the Petabyte!
