So now I have to recreate everything anyway... oh and someone thought it would be a good idea to rsync the cobbler configs from another master in another datacenter... so now the UI is flooded with systems from wrong datacenter. GRRRR... and it's still running on old hardware.. with a hacked up to fit desktop mobo in it. I should have pushed harder to just rebuild it from scratch on new hardware. /hindsight
Then again this damn thing was formerly owned by the same engineering team with a customer facing and impacting system with no backups, no redundancy and that stopped new content filter defs from being deployed for 2 days when it lost a drive.
more shit to add to fragile points docs. :D
