Freefall became ill and a bunch of cvsupd processes ended up hung in D state, unkillable by any means. This caused the master cvsupd process to stop accepting clients, because its access limits were already maxxed out. We did a remote reboot of freefall, but unfortunately it did not make it back up again. It responds to pings but none of the daemons have started, including sshd. The operative hypothesis is that it is hung up waiting on an NFS mount from a machine that's down. It is a holiday weekend here in the US, and we haven't been able to find anybody physically near to the machines who could go in and get things running again. So we are without freefall at least for a while. Maybe this would be a good day to get a life and try doing something else for a change. :-) - -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
