We experienced a lockup on statsbox this afternoon (~21:11 UTC). We’ve
been unable to determine a cause, and since Petr is out of town, there
isn’t anybody local to the box to investigate further. All we can
do is have the best.net staff reboot the box.
It rebooted fine, and there’s nothing too unusual in the logfiles,
so I’m just going through the databases. Running consistency and
sanity checks on the tables, and correcting the infamous sybase
“runaway identity” issue that occurs whenever there’s an abnormal
shutdown of the database.
The consistency check takes a good bit to run, and I’ve just disabled
the web server so the routines don’t have to fight for cpu. Needless
to say, the daily update hasn’t started yet, either. Figure on a late
finish for tonight’s stats run.
