Working under pressure …

While working under any pressure is really something I don’t mind, working while you get distracted permanently is a real mess!

It was always one of my abilities to focus on things and working again a general deadline, even when the time limits were rather short. In such situations I can push away all stuff by focusing just to this one and only thing to finish and it quiet often ended up in discussion why I did forget the one or other topic about.

Something I really can’t stand with is about being distracted - better say disturbed - all the time.

Yesterday was such a day! After the morning had started not so bad, I decided to change the file system layout of one of my system. It is an Enterprise Linux System and it must have been ages since I had worked with the Logical Volume Manager.

Anyway I had fun doing it and playing with that stuff again, but then folks around started to annoy me. Calling me all the time asking for silly stuff or just general nonsense!

Now transfering filesystems from one disk to another, updating the fstab appropriate and ensuring your system will boot up correct again is something you should do by being aware about what you are doing.

You might be able to think about what happend :-|

Yes, your right! I made a mistake and the odd “Kernel Panic! screen appeared. :-|

That was the moment when I decided to stop playing with it and start another try today taking time to think about my options to repair it again. Thanks god it needed just 10 minutes today to get the messed up system up and running again.
It is just you need the time and peace to think about it first! :-)
