Re: [users] Re: a quickie
Also, if you're running, oh, say, and email or web server on you server rack, you might be concerned if the server were rebooted, since the service would be unavaliable for a while. On a heavily-loaded email server with a large (ext2) mail partition with quota support enabled, the checkquota proces alone will be intolerably long for the middle of the day. My suggestion: purchase a KVM. In my case, I've got a low-end 4-port KVM on my racks. There are about 12 machines there, but most are running Debian, so I rarely need a console connection on those. I leave windows machines and our voice mail server attached to ports 1-3. Port 4 I have as a roamer and attach to whichever Debian box I need at the moment (had a machine that tended to lock up and segfault for instance). By adding a KVM, not only have I eliminated the possibility of rebooting a Linux machine when I intended to log into an NT server, I have also largely emiminated having to rummage around the back side of the rack swapping cables. I hadn't realized that was a problem until one of our techs went through like a bull in a china shop and knocked the power cord loose from my email server. Now, since I've made the NT boxes all a pushbutton away, I'm the only one who ever needs to swap cables. Since I had to clean up the mess whenever the mail server got abruptly booted, I am much more careful than the people who caused the crashes.
