After faultless uptimes, with 0.3 and 0.4 nodes
running at full throttle for days on end, I decided to conserve some
bandwidth, and set 0.3 to 1000 bytes/sec, and 0.4 to 5000
bytes/sec.
Result?
Perfect. Both nodes obeyed their throttle settings
nicely.
But on starting the night's round of freesite
inserts, my Mandrake 8.0-based server crashed after 20 minutes.
Reboot.
fsck.
Start everything up again.
Same shit. Server goes legs-up.
The insert jobs never crashed the server when there
were no throttle settings in place.
I also get the feeling that even without the insert
jobs, my server would have crashed anyway.
Ideas anyone?
