[Rattledagger]

All Over (Dec 10 2008)

During the wee hours this morning our upload server (bruno) froze. We are still unsure why, but recovery was a comedy of errors. Jeff was already about to power cycle it (having little other choice given the unresponsive console) when I got in around 8am. After rebooting bruno failed to mount its result storage drives due to some kind of mdadm mismanagement. This forced us into a read-only please-fsck-your-drives mode. The drives, outside of pointless resyncing due to hard power cycle, were fine - they didn't need to be fsck'ed. Still, being root (/) was read-only we couldn't edit /etc/fstab to prevent this from happening again upon every reboot.

So I tried to get it into a real single user mode to make such an edit - all I wanted to do was comment out that one mount line. However, thus started a series of about 8 consecutive reboots, each taking about five minutes, and all wastes of time due to a typo or an unresponsive kvm. I ultimately gave up and booted from DVD in "rescue mode" where I could finally make the fstab edit. Finally all was well with the mount (which I did on the command line), but then I had all kinds of network errors with the system. More tweaks, more reboots... Long story short this server is being held together with figurative duct tape at the moment. We'll get it all sorted out later.

Jeff and I also worked together to get the remaining pieces of the "donation drive" in place, such as it is. I'm sending out test e-mails out now, and will probably start sending in earnest on Friday. Please send all questions/comments about our fundraising efforts to the principal investigators (Dan, Dave, Eric). I am simply implementing the technical aspects of this endeavor, though I would like to point out we finally updated the text on the plans page.

By the way.. did anybody notice this?

Thanks a bunch Rattledagger for the stats and much appologies for the poor WU ave. of late. I got very burnt by the SETI download police for multiple resets attempting to get some 605 wus with 645. I'm back on now.
