Godzilla Meets Bambi (Aug 29 2007)

As far as the public data pipeline is concerned, it's been relatively smooth sailing since recovering from the weekly outage yesterday. Queues are draining or filling in the right directions, work is being created and sent out at an even pace, etc.

However, bambi was a bit of a time consuming headache this morning. It finally resynced from the spurious RAID failure yesterday. I tested the supposed failed drives and got enough confusing outputs that I thought the disk controller went nuts. Playing around with the 3ware BIOS showed this was more or less the case: every time we rescanned the drives a different small random subset would disappear from the list. This isn't a good thing.

We popped the system open and found nothing loose or unseated. So we did a true power cycle - unplugging it from the wall, etc. Since then the disks have all returned and remain intact after several rescans and reboots. So perhaps an ugly bit got jammed in the 3ware card and needed to be neutralized. Meanwhile I moved splitting to lando so I could work on bambi without dangerously running low on work to send.
