FQuest Alert: NINE Manual reboot
Silly SysAdmin trick #8: Do not release your swap drives when a kernel is being stress tested...
Early this morning, I was stress testing some new kernel performance enhancements on the NINE server and accidently released one of my swap drives forcing the kernel to de-allocate rather abruptly causing lru-page errors which in turn ended up OOPSing the kernel...
This forced me to take a drive and restart the server, as the watchdogs were still signalling and not allowing the server to recover on it's own...
My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused...
