my "final destination" reference was prescient
When I last discussed my disk problems, I had finally managed to recover my data though there was an ominous noise from my new disk. In the following months I bought two disks and copied my data to both. One stayed in my desktop machine, for normal use. The other went into an external USB case. Then, when I came to Japan I brought the USB one with me and left the desktop one in storage; redundancy across two continents.
Well, as of today (approximately six months later) the disk no longer mounts.
Does it need to be stated that I hate computers?
It's becoming clear to me that god just doesn't want me to have this data. I hope my disk back in SF is ok, but I also suspect maybe the existence of that final copy of the data may be enough to trigger the big one.
