Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
I've noticed that one of my main fileserver, neutron, has started to just crash / hang after a few days of uptime. This foxed me for a while, until today when I rebooted the RAM failed its memory check. If I recall correctly, neutron has 4 sticks of RAM in it, totalling 1.5GB - so I guess that's the rest of my day gone figuring out which stick it is that has the fault.
Fortunately, my distributed storage model in my hame network is paying off - even without the fileserver all the vital things continue running. Of course, backups have not been done and I'm rather glad I'm not in the middle of an audio project at the moment so I don't need huge storage right now.
Hopefully I'll have the server up and running later today, probably with a bit less RAM until I can grab a replacement - but I'm glad I now have a clue why it's been unstable of late.
