What the fudge?
Is this new server really this bad? Seems that the only thing it does with any regularity is go down every weekend and at least one day during the week.

Is it the new server? I've been trying since yesterday to access this forum. No joy until now. What happened?

208.80.15.230
When I traced the line, it timed out at 208.80.15.230
I don't know if this will help, but I offer it anyway. RJ |

Forum Status?
Is it just on my connection or has the forum been down lately. I wasn't able to connect to it all day yesterday?

It appears it was down yesterday, and a good chunk of today. I did a trace, and it was definitely not from my connection.

Man, I really wish TFL could get fixed for good....I work nights and I'm actually having to do a little work to get myself busy instead of playing around on here.

Xfs apparently wasn't the problem. The remaining suspects include the kernel software raid driver, lvm2, and the kernel's softlockup detection/reboot code itself. If the kernel incorrectly detects a softlockup and tries to reboot and fails (seems unlikely), that could also explain the symptoms.
Second hand reports from the colo staff were that, a week ago Sunday, sysrq+t indicated the system was stuck in software raid code. However, neither Friday nor today have I been able to get sysrq hotkeys to work after the crashes. Just a message about a detected softlockup, and then one saying it's rebooting in 6 seconds... which it obviously didn't. For now I've disabled the kernel panic and reboot after a softlockup. Since it wasn't successfully rebooting anyway, there's no sense in having that turned on. The attachment upload issues and usercp problems were due to bad temporary directory permissions after switching those temp directories from xfs to ext3; those permissions are both fixed. Quote:
