Remember my fried filesystem a month or so ago? Happened again. Miraculously, an hour after I'd backed up my home directory. Well, most of it: I hadn't done the movies folder.
I am:
a) pissed off at this happening again
b) pissed off at myself for not checking more thoroughly when TechTool couldn't scan the drive completely
c) pissed off at Apple store tech who did a cursory check last time and told me it was OK
All anti-Apple comments are banned, by the way: it's a Matsushita drive and I know of NO ONE who has had nearly as much trouble as me. Probably I should turn my laptop off more instead of just leaving it in sleep mode, but even so, this shit shouldn't happen.
Currently zeroing the drive so I can reinstall and try TechTool again before bringing it in. (I tried booting it off my iPod to do that, but since the FS root was fried, it couldn't see the drive. Disk Utility on the install DVD can see it, but couldn't repair it, hence zeroing it.)
