Please support me in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer - last year we were able to raise $6.9 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation - hopefully we can raise even more in 2010! -

MacOSX Diagnostics

Brian’s XServe is acting up, and we’re trying to figure out wtf went wrong, and trying to work with his IT folks that are managing the box for him.
In our quest for answers, I came across these resources (which have been dutifully bookmarked, delicioused, and added to my DevonThinkPE cache). I’m adding them here as well…
They’re trying to round up a hardware diagnostic CD to check RAM, motherboard, etc… Here’s hoping for good backups…
UPDATE: Looks like it was a stick of RAM that decided to go south. Hopefully the many power cycles and reboots didn’t scramble any data…
“Hopefully the many power cycles and reboots didn’t scramble any data…”
Yikes, just when I was starting to relax, you lay that one on me!
Thanks so much for all your technical and moral support through this… I can’t express how grateful I was that you had our backs.
It should be a minimal risk – I enabled journalling on the drive a long time ago, and there are backups. It should be fine. Really!
