[Resolved] Jupiter DNS/reboot . . . - Page 3 - Dotable

fsck or something else? Do you have news, Bob?

Colo techs are hard rebooting and are hooking up the console to watch the reboot and see where the problem is . . . .

We rebooted to fix an issue with BIND, so there's nothing serious going on here. Just having some issues getting the server back from reboot, and it's most likely doing a fsck, as it's been a fair while since the last reboot.

Yup.. 120 days last time I checked.

Ya know, some experts recommend you reboot your Windows machine once a week to clear out memory leaks and other problems that build up over time. I am a big Linux fan and feel you shouldn't have to do that to a server. But this is starting to look a lot like past outages when I hear the machine isn't coming back from a reboot and we then find major corruption of the disk volume... Again, I hope I am wrong but I have seen this too many times.

At least this time I have full and recent backups

Come on Dave, let's stay positive.. This can't happen to us again.

dkg · 15th May 2007, 06:12 AM

You're right Gerrit. I need to stay positive.

Today I am recovering from spending 29 hours this past weekend on-site setting up a network. I thought I was all done last night and I had to go and do another test. When I did, nothing was working! So I spent the next half hour to find out one of the cables (supplied by a vendor) spontaneously died just sitting there between the router and the switch. Of course, all the cables I made up are worked fine

There... I said something positive

I am sending all my good thoughts to the west (the direction Jupiter is from me)

Update -

There is some confusion as to which server Jupiter is, in our cabinet there, after we replaced the server with the new server. This is good news in a way, but now the colo tech is trying to find which server is Jupiter. All the servers in the cabinet are meant to be clearly labelled. So we're working on this . . .

oh boy... let´s hope everything works fine!

thanks for the update.
