The old server that was running the web frontend was retired on wednesday, and it's a good thing it was because the power supply fan is going bad. The cause of the crash/reboot yesterday is currently unknown. The server apparently didn't come back up after reboot because there were filesystem glitches due to the crash/whatever-it-was. I didn't actually get to see what was going on before one of the colo people got it running again. For all I know someone tripped a breaker or accidentally knocked the power cable out. Or it could have been a panic caused by just about anything.

It was weird, actually. When I was home, it worked. By the time I got to my cousins house, I thought it was the connection or something.
I was getting worried. |

One of my friends kept saying the ATF shut the site down and it was all over, they were coming for the staff and senior members. And people say I'm paranoid, I just wanted to know the answer to two of the questions I had asked. I guess it is because he is a new gun owner who can't believe you can buy a firearm FTF.

More tech info:
The disk/raid driver was getting stuck, and the kernel wasn't rebooting from the subsequent soft lockup like it was supposed to. After last weekend's fiasco we had a new linux kernel ready, so we're on 2.6.28 now. I've also converted 2 of the 3 filesystems that were xfs over to ext3 (the database/web/root directories have always been ext3, but a few non-critical directories were xfs to speed things up). There's a recent xfs bug report I'm worried might have been the cause of these lockups.

I think I could have understood Greek before being able to translate that.
Hell, I think I could have translated Wildalaska's jibberish more quickly....

Still kinda broke...
PM's don't work.
Are they possibly mounted on a different file system than the core DB? |

Yup. Can't access the User Control Panel either. I keep getting "Database error, Invalid SQL".
