Ramblings

I decided it was long due … I began the process of running updates on Gollum (my main server). The updates were going smooth … until all of the sudden Gollum just FROZE. So, I switched my monitor over to the server and what do I find? A kernel panic message. Great!

So I reboot. No big deal, other than the fact that I was enjoying the fact that I had over 180 days of uptime. Well, the reboot was a big deal. Apparently either the kernel panic or some action on my part currupted the patition table on one of my drives in the RAID. Ok, so several hours later I found out what to do (there were other things that caused that time to pass so quickly that were not related to Gollum). So, I have the array up and running again. I don’t know what I would have done without the array.

Anyways, as a result of the upgrades, email broke again (every time I upgrade!) so that is going to have to wait until tomorrow morning from the office :)
