Tango Down
Today could have been a horrible day, and to be honest I really thought it was going to be horrible when I woke up. There was just some stuff today at work that I was not expecting to go right. Oddly it went better than it ever has done (for this issue I am talking about and not saying what it is). :)
Anyhow after the other stuff was done I ended up playing around with a few simple IDS’s (Intrusion Detection Systems) and seem to like the opensource version of tripwire for my needs. It was pretty easy to install and configure and I didn’t really need to look up anything to get it going. I still have some work to get to know it better, but so far it seems pretty straight forward.
After my day of stuff and IDS playing I came home and used gparted to fix a dead 2gig SD card that lost its mind a while back and went read only regardless of the lock switch. I could format it and write to it but then it would be read only again. I ended up giving up on it and figured it was a lost cause after a few times of this months back. Today I tried it again and when I tried to load it up with fdisk it prompted saying that the partition was larger than the cylinder size and could not be edited. A quick google turned up a forum where someone with a complete different issue suggest the user try gparted. I gave it a shot and it seems to be saved. Gparted just uses the tools that I was using anyway to fix this issue, but it seems to know something that I don’t about the little memory waffer in the SD Card.
