The org-mode parser on github doesn't understand lists, sadly. So a lot of this file is invisible. View raw or check out the HTML output that is also in this directory.

• I think this was the day it launched. I honestly can't remember.

Notes

• Informed of problem via Twitter.
• [Redacted] user wrote to say:

#+BEGIN_BLOCKQUOTE 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

DONE Resolution

Rebooted server Renamed bad .bashrc so that it would not execute when user logged in

Backup <2014-10-04 Sat>   PaulFord

Backed up /var, /etc, and /home. Saved to Paul Ford's home computer.

Notes

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

TODO Resolution

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.

Made a snapshot of the EBS volume attached to tilde.club Launched a new instance based on that EBS Kernel panic; see /sebboh/tilde.club/src/branch/master/log/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)

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
