next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Yesterday and today (within minutes after midnight) my 5.2.1 server locked=
up... meaning that I cannot SSH into it, or ping it, etc, but it is still=
running. This has never happened before in the past 1.5 years, and I=
cannot think of any changes made (other than web page edits) that have=
taken place in the past few days. The only other exception might have been=
a 1 or 2 portupgrades, but I don't think there were any that day. Further,=
there is very little in the logs that seems to help me in any way.
For yesterday's lockup, /var/log/messages had these few entries right about=
the time it happened:
Jul 19 00:01:17 server handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count
Jul 19 00:01:24 server handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count
Jul 19 00:07:38 server handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count
Jul 19 21:45:31 (syslog entry) is the last entry before this last lockup
I did, however, get a cron job email at midnight:
Jul 20 00:00:01 - newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 666: No such process
newsyslog: log /var/log/maillog.0 not compressed because daemon(s) not=
notified
I did find a ruby18.core file in my root directory, and now notice that=
things like portupgrade, portsdb, and pkg_version spew a bunch of errors=
(they depend on ruby?) So I visit /usr/ports/lang/ruby18 to re-install the=
port, and I get:

Well, I'm stuck ...
Thanks,
