Normal Tuesday outage. Didn't really do anything special this time around. I did mess around with server "anakin" a bit (the presumptive replacement scheduling server) - for starters it keeps booting up in X (though the inittab says not to) and one of its drives got marked as "defunct" (the hardware RAID is rather confusing - I can't figure out how to "unfail" the drive). Both really minor issues. At least there was zero fallout from the air conditioner failure yesterday. Other than that I'm mostly working on mundane sys admin chores and catching up on some back-end diagnostic/analysis stuff.

Actually one of the things I'm working on today! I'm getting the OS on it as I type (now that Fedora Core 9 is finally out and at least mildly understood).

....."anakin" ..... one of its drives got marked as "defunct" (the hardware RAID is rather confusing - I can't figure out how to "unfail" the drive). ...

Assuming the HDD is hot plug capiable re-seating the drive would probably do the trick. It works on HP Proliant dl 3xx servers with hardware raid.
