I run two OS's on my computer. Sometimes the clock gets out of wack. Guess which OS decided to update during working hours because the clock got it wrong.


Have you had the issue where Windows updates fuck around with your EFI partition and break your bootloader? I've gone through that one a few times


I can do one better. Every time I boot into windows (7) it sees my md raid1 drives with the metadata at the back (long story - I was trying to boot off it and didn't do a very good job), sees a valid GPT table but that the disk length is "too small" by a little bit...and "fixes" it without asking. So every time I boot back into linux I have to repair my partition table. It's gotten to the point that any time I consider updating or doing anything major to my windows install, step 1 is to physically unplug all my other drives.


Yep. I now run a different bootloader that plays nice with OSX.
