Downtime That Will Be Known As: The Christmas DT 2009

Hey guys,
At about 10PM EST we seem to have hit a kernel bug and the server simply crashed.
I was sleeping, so basically it stayed down until I woke up and saw it.
Sorry for that... I hope everybody were too drunk or something so nobody noticed

Oh I noticed alright..........it happened on my watch
Thanks for fixing the problem Gil. I am assuming you had to perform a reboot of the servers?

It's a single server and actually - It has a hardware watchdog that I configured to automatically reboot upon lockup, it failed to boot as less than a week ago - the first HD failed and I had it replaced (nobody noticed as we have a raid in place), I forgot to reinstall grub on the MBR so it couldn't boot...

Raid? Grub? Did somebody spray insecticide on your dinner?
