I finally heard one yesterday that will be with me for the rest of my life.
I work as a datacenter engineer at one of the 3 letter gov agencies. You would think that people in IT here would have an IT background.
We got a new manager last week and he was asking me some questions about a server i was building out to spec. Usually IT managers specifically have done technical work in the past and they work their way up the chain.
The server i built was using 4 drives in Raid 5. Had 2 open slots.
The customer came up with another requirement which needed more space. So my boss was emailing the customer about it and i was CCed.
This is what my boss told the customer..... Currently we do not have enough physical disk storage slots on the server to have another raid 5 array. I will have my engineer install another disk, break that disk up into 3 partitions, and then he will strip those partitions as a raid 5 array........REALLY??????
If that was even possible.... that drive would die so quick. I would feel sorry for those read\write heads having to write to 3 places on the drive at the same time... every time.
