[Online] Server offline - Dotable

Dotable Steve · 20th July 2008, 01:12 PM

Shadow is having a few issues this afternoon with high loads.
Rebooted and investigating cause

Dotable Steve · 20th July 2008, 01:23 PM

Server is back online.

The problem was caused by a file system error, causing /home to mount read-only - probably as a result of the hard reboots last few days - that has been corrected and all partitions are mounted rw now.

Still getting file system errors, rebooting again to correct..

Dotable Steve · 20th July 2008, 01:48 PM

Running fsck on /home at present.. all services have been stopped until this is complete and the partition can be mounted again.

Pass 1 complete..
Pass 2: Checking directory structure

fsck is complete with errors corrected, services are back running now.

Just wondering if there is any explanation about why the new server would have file system problems??

Dotable Steve · 20th July 2008, 09:08 PM

Almost certainly to do with the hard resets caused by the pdu provisioning this week. Everything is all fine now though.

Aah. That makes sense. I had already forgotten about those two micro outages.
