Server Downtime
As some may have noticed, Gollum mysteriously dropped offline last night right at 9PM. I wasn’t able to do much troubleshooting until about 10, when I realized that I could still get to my router, just not Gollum. I was able to ssh into my machine on the same network as Gollum, but was unable to get anywhere else from on campus. I got home about 12:15 after doing laundry on campus and hooked up my monitor and keyboard to Gollum to see what was going on. It looks like Gollum freaked out over something and triggered a kernel panic. This, unfortunantly, required a reboot. The reboot caused the RAID to be unmounted uncleanly, forcing me to wait until almost 1AM while it rebuilt itself. Once the RAID settled down, things were back to normal.
