From mjbaysek at cs.cmu.edu Tue Oct 9 13:47:16 2007 From: mjbaysek at cs.cmu.edu (Michael J.

As most of you know, this hangs the LOPs and even your desktop, if you have a VPN connected home directory. This happened again this morning. While I am not certain yet what the cause is, I know that it is not a failed fan, hard drive or memory in the server. The last time (before today) I tested these components, and they were functional even under heavy, extended load (well beyond what normally occurs on this machine). I am still using process of elimination to determine what the cause might be. This morning I reseated PCI cards, removed a secondary external SCSI array to evaluate whether it could be part of the problem. In the meantime, if you notice the system becomes unresponsive, you are welcome to report any problems to my cell phone at 412-596-1618, my office number, 412-268-8939, or by email or even text message to my cell. -Mike -- Michael J.

Unusable, pretty much. The computing folks are aware of the problem so it should not be too long before service is restored. -Mike -- Michael J.
