Blip (Jun 21 2007)

At the end of the day yesterday a simple cut-and-paste misinterpreted by a terminal window introduced an extra line feed to the /etc/exports file on our Network Appliance filer (which hosts our home accounts, web sites, /usr/local, etc.) which rendered its root (/) mount read-only. Of course, you need read-write access to update the exports file. This was a bit of a conundrum, with the added pressure of "mount rot" quickly creeping through our network and slowing machines to a crawl (hence the minor outage which very few seemed to notice). This sent me, Jeff, and Eric into a fit of head scratching, with Eric finally discovering that, even though we couldn't re-export "/" on the simple filer command line, we could freshly export "/." with read-write access to a machine that hadn't quite hung up yet, and fix the offending file. After some reboots to clean the pipes we were back to normal.

I think I fixed the weird "top computers" sorting problems. I believe somebody else made an update trying to optimize it during our recent database panic without realizing it broke the sort logic. Fair enough.

Other than that, Jeff and I worked to get the new server "bane" on line. Yup, we continue to stick with the darth naming convention for now. We made it a third public web server for a second there to test the plumbing, but took it back offline for now. We need to tighten some screws before making it a real production web server.
