Argh Again!

If it’s not one thing it’s another. Logged in and the load was up to 160+, couldn’t log in as a user, couldn’t write to /home, nothing. Based on the dmesg output (read more for that) it looks like some sort of error in either the scsi drive or the scsi drive itself. Funny (not in a funny way) as I was saying not that long ago how the SCSI drive hasn’t had a blip while the IDE drives were dying off left right and center, and Fred was talking about getting a drive to mirror the /home drive onto. Fsck.


I rebooted with the options to reboot immediately and it went offline, so it’s rebooted, but it’s not coming up now. I have a call into the data center to see what is up… it might need a root password to fsck or something. Will update when they get back to me (dude has to finish dinner or something).


sigh Hope everyone had /home backed up 🙁 🙁 🙁 Hope it’s not that bad though <fingers crossed>l;


Update Looks like the disk might be toast. Hopefully fred can convince it to come back to life tomorrow morning though. More on ufies.org.

  1. Bad cable or connection to the SCSI drive? You mentioned that you had a “minor heart attack” in your previous note with the SCSI drive.
    Also ask what time they open at when they call back. I’ll take my lunch at 8am if there open then to get a drive in or do some work on it.

  4. “Backups: Your Responsibility!!” has been in the motd for ages, or not?
    (I had nothing important in my home dir, no worries. I’m pretty forgiving for something I’m not using/paying for 🙂 )
    Debian has some scsitools… maybe there’s some way to do run some diagnostics or readonly mount?
    I’ve ordered a couple of SATA drives to do a mirror RAID for backup, but I wonder if even that’s enough?

  5. I’ll keep you guys posted what happens this morning. At this point, I don’t care about the $$. I’m going to get another 2x15k RPM drives for a SCSI array and if the PS will hold it a 120GB IDE backup drive just for backups. Arc, perhaps tar everything up weekly.;)
    Thankfully Arc has made that clear from the begining (Backups). Everything really important I have backedup, but stull sucks. Had that not been the case I’d have a few thousand TDIClubers chasing me, some of whom know where I live and work!;)
