Lions and Tigers and Downtime, Oh My!

Submitted by caedes 07/04/04 3:29 PM GMT

I'm sorry about the downtime on Saturday night and Sunday morning. I had to do a kernel upgrade and somehow /dev/null got turned into a normal file (Linux users should recognize this as a Bad Thing® ). This caused everything to crash when I rebooted the server. I would have fixed it last night when the datacenter put the KVM switch on the server, but I was too tired. SO I went home, slept for about 5 hours, and then came back. Once I got back on the server it only took about 3 hours to find the problem. I'm just happy that I avoided having to re-install the whole server. =)
