Idiot of the Day

We tell a guy that his server is requesting an FSCK, so we ask him if he wants us to proceed with the FSCK or to skip it so he can make backups (and then, presumably, run an FSCK).

The choices are: A) or B).

He replied back "Whatever you suggest."

You know, so when everything goes wrong, he can blame us.

Is this a paranoid response?

Hardly. Seen it dozens of times. Any time they leave the decision up to us and we end up making a decision with bad results, the customer screams.

This time, all's well that ended well.

But next time?

We'll see.

At least they didn't ask "What's an FSCK?" like someone else did.
