| |
I just had me a whole mess of production servers die today. Mysterious.
First number one went down, with a real, honest-to-goodness hardware failure, half the scsi drives went west. Then my day went downhill.
Number two spontaneously rebooted while I was in transit to the site, and came up in run-level 2 then produced a panic: FORWARDED INTERRUPT TIMEOUT.
Deep breath. Okay. The day is likely to only get better after this. Right? Wrong.
Within the next hour, number three and number four go down almost simultaneously with: "VFS: No free inodes - contact Linus"
Well..I felt damn sure that Linus was too busy to bother. I know I was too busy fighting the problems to do much about it, but now that it's late at night and I'm finally back home for my first coffee of the day and a little breakfast, I am moved to ask: Does anyone know what the heck caused the above, and what might be a good method of avoiding it?
The kernels themselves are unremarkable: 2.0.32+SMP+3000fd.
