Re: [convention] server issues

[Troy C. Belding]

Well, I couldn't do much about it until the time I did anyway.  - I 
started a backup at 2 AM when I knew there was a real problem.  It got 
cut off a couple of hours later, when the system kernel panicked.

I thought it was the hard drive/directory structure.  It was, in part.  
It really looks like the memory went bad.  I just put in brand new 
memory, and an additional hard drive to run internal rsync's on a daily 
basis.

Now I get to go buy more memory so I can finish making a backup server.  
Nothing should have been lost, since it wasn't real drive corruption.

Just an update.

For some reason I didn't see this message until just now...and it was
dated 2AM. Weird.
   

The mailing list is on troy's server.

Troy's server was down until just now.  (Sending email to him to report the 
problem gave me the "couldn't deliver for 4 hours" message a couple times.  
And my cell phone battery's dead and I can't find the charger.  Sigh...)
