My favorite answer to the common interview question: "What was your biggest mistake, and how did you recover from it?" Answer: Back in 1993, I once deleted a critical data file. Fortunately, the AIX host was sitting next to me, so I quickly reached over and flipped the power switch off. The strategy being: writes were buffered and flushed out periodically, so hitting the power switch prevented that last write from hitting the disk. And if this didn't work (and caused more file system corruption), well I would have needed to restore from backup anyway. |
