Well, I've got real problems with that database server that lost
power over the weekend. We reloaded FreeBSD from scratch and then
reinstalled mysql, and pf. I loaded up my database and switched
over all my customer's websites. The database server ran fine for
about 2 minutes, and then died. At the moment, I can't even ssh
into the machine, although they can get into it using a keyboard/
monitor at the data center. In other words, sshd is not working.
That sounds like either a hardware problem (ie CPU overheating or
marginal PSU failing under production load), or less likely, some
kind of software misconfiguration. System logs would be useful to
see whether any signs of trouble are being mentioned.
Apparently, power was fluctuating drastically before they decided to
cut power, so a hardware problem is a definite possibility. A PSU
failure would not surprise me in the circumstances.
Assuming I can ever ssh in again, what log would hardware failures be
reported to?
