[Mageia-sysadm] good news, bad news

[Michael Scherer]

Hi

so first the good news. I have done some cleaning ( mainly removal of
avahi, mandi and other packages that are not relevant on a server ).
While on it, I have also added the ipv6 that we didn't set up when in
DC.

So if you have ipv6 connectivity, you can ping ecosse, alamut and
jonund.

So where is the bad news ? Well, if you have ip v6 connectivity, you
cannot ping valstar. And if you only have ip v4 connectivity, you cannot
either.

I connected this afternoon, so it was working one hour ago. I am pretty
sure that I didn't touched to the network, not to a point that would
render it unusable. Unfortunately, not only valstar has no admin card,
but I think it also suffer from a bios bug that sometimes prevent a
restart after a power shortage. IIRC, the power is doubled so it should
not happen much.

However, it seems that alamut just got rebooted too :

$ ssh root at alamut.mageia.org uptime
19:13:38 up  5:21,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

We ( me and dams ) will investigate and report. 

I will also post a planning later ( about what is needed, what is
planned, etc, etc ).
