Yukon back up




I found out what killed Yukon (the Dual Xeon server)- the setiathome
client. I was running it on Yukon for Pete, and it would appear that it's
got a real serious bug or at least expoits one in the kernel.  It's all
beautifly logged in /var/log/messages, so I'm going to forward it to the
SETI guys.

There was a few errors in the filesystems- nothing that fsck couldn't fix,
so everything looks ok.  I gotta say though that the DAC960 RAID
controller kicks-ass when it comes to recovery vs. software raid.  If this
had happened to Vodka, I'd had to wait 20 minutes for the RAID volumes to
resync.  I would of hated to see how long I'd have to wait for 5times the
disk space!

Anyways, I'm going to make sure that everything re-started correctly and
then go home to do some coding before going out tonight to play pool with
some friends.  I should be on IRC until about 7pm PDT off and on if you
need me.
