Its 4:10am, and my server just locked up again, so I'm heading out to the office to reboot it, again... A thought came to mind, so I figured I'd send it out before I took off, lest I forget to post it. If I recall correctly, in the past, if the system locked up with a SCSI bus hang, the system remainded pingable, and even a telnet to the machine would give me part of the login header, but not the login: prompt. With current rash of hangs...this is not the case, the system is locked up completely. I don't know if this makes any sense, or if the 'pingability' of the previuos SCSI hangs was purely a fluke, but I figured it might be something of note. Oh well...time to run out before the city *literally* rolls up the streets at 6am (city wide, one day, strike today *sigh*)
