    • +
  • [Redacted] user wrote to say: +
    • +
+ +

+#+BEGINBLOCKQUOTE +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 +

4 Server Crash <2014-10-07 Tue>

+
+
+

4.1 Notes

+
+
    +
  • System log on AWS was last updated on Saturday, 10/4–at time of last bootup. +
    • +
+
+
+ +
+

4.2 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. + +
  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. + +
  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 +
      • +
