Date | Planned | Outcome |
---|---|---|
2024-05-02 | No planned outages | |
2024-04-20 | Kernel updates and patching. | Kernel patch installed! Previous stress test failed to trigger the crash. (Crossing fingers) This looks like it might resolve the problem. Downtime: about 6 minutes. |
2024-04-09 | Hard crash and reboot late at night. | I tracked down the bug! It's a kernel bug. Reported it and am looking for a workaround. Total downtime: about 1 hour, but worked on the server from 2am to 5am as I tried to debug the problem. |
2024-03-24 | Hard crash and reboot. | Yesterday's update generated problems last night. Required rebooting the server. Then the FotoForensics instance reported a drive problem and required a manual fsck. Everything seems happy now. Downtime: 7 minutes. |
2024-03-23 | Server patching and reboot. | Typical update; reboot took less than 30 seconds. |
2024-01-20 | UPS battery extender. | Test took longer than expected but was successful. (Had to buy a crimper, ring terminals, and shrink tubing to rig it up.) Good news: Battery extender has been installed. Previously I had about 54 minutes of emergency power. Now I have over 4 hours. (If the power is out longer than 4 hours, then the ISP will go down before me.) Total downtime for this installation: 20 minutes -- 10 minutes while removing the UPS and (a few hours later) 10 minutes while reinstalling the UPS. |
2023-12-30 | Installing a UPS battery extender. | Could not install. Device arrived damaged from Amazon. Good news: getting a refund. Bad news: no battery extender. I still have about 1 hour of battery. |
2023-12-23 | Server patching and reboot. | Debugging a possible kernel issue. Debug was performed on the backup server; no downtime on this server. |
2023-12-16 | Server patching and reboot. | This was a typical update. Zero downtime. |
2023-11-18 | Debug and correct the UPS monitoring. | Found the problem. The UPS monitoring software ('nut') decided that it was always supposed to shutdown the UPS. Disabled by editing /etc/nut/upsmon.conf and removing the line "POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower". Now every UPS is being monitored properly. (Downtime: about 4 minutes.) |
2023-11-11 | Server patching and reboot. | During the reboot, the UPS monitor went crazy and decided to automatically turn off the UPS. We were not able to debug the problem within the maintenance window. As a temporarily workaround, we've moved the UPS monitoring to a secondary system. |
