The org-mode parser on github doesn't understand lists, sadly. So a lot
of this file is invisible. View raw or check out the HTML output that is
also in this directory.

* Launch <2014-10-01 Wed> :PaulFord:

- I think this was the day it launched. I honestly can't remember.

** Notes
- Informed of problem via Twitter.
- [Redacted] user wrote to say:
#+BEGIN_BLOCKQUOTE
I put "bash" in my .bashrc (like the command, on a line). This seems incredibly stupid in retrospect but I was trying to get my shell to load my aliases and if I ran `bash` they did, so...

I'm going to put myself in an infinite loop of timeout
(IF I'm allowed back on, which would be understood if I weren't)
#+END BLOCKQUOTE
** DONE Resolution
- Rebooted server
- Renamed bad .bashrc so that it would not execute when user logged in

* Server Crash <2014-10-07 Tue> :PaulFord:
2014-10-07 13:34:12 +00:00
** Notes
- System log on AWS was last updated on Saturday, 10/4--at time of last bootup.
** TODO Resolution
1) Rebooted the Server
- This did not work and system log did not clear out or update.
- While this was going on I received an email from Amazon letting me
know that the server would be retired on October 21st. This appears
to be unrelated to this current issue but definitely confused me.
- FAILED.
2) Made a snapshot of the EBS volume attached to tilde.club
- Launched a new instance based on that EBS
- Kernel panic; see [[./server-logs/2014-10-07.txt ]]
- I'm not sure if this is me or the disk, though.
- I'm getting
- =Using IPI No-Shortcut mode=
- =XENBUS: Timeout connecting to devices!=
- =md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.=
- =md: autorun ...=
- =md: ... autorun DONE.=
- =Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)=
3) Tried to look at the volume
- Made a new instance
- Made a new volume based on the snapshot
- Tried to mount it
- The volume identifies as GRUB
- It's not a single volume, then, it's a filesystem with multiple volumes
- I'm not sure how to attach whole filesystems as EBS volumes
