Yeah, so, failure to babysit the db node that was scheduled for a reboot on the 5th resulted in a bit of database FUBAR that left us temporarily losing everything from then to now. Fortunately we had a backup less than six hours old, restored from it, and appear to be copacetic now. Except for the missing five hours and change.
I'd usually make some sort of dumb joke here but it was already four hours past my bedtime when I found out about the problem. My brain is no work good anymore. Fill in whatever dad joke or snark about getting a do-over for a change strikes your fancy.

Oh, if you really want to know the detailed network setup, drop me an email to remind me (I don't care if it's a real address. Throwaway is fine.) and I'll post it up as a journal entry when I get time. I've been running on busy days and four hours or so of sleep a night for what seems like about thirty years though, so don't go thinking I've forgotten about it until it doesn't show up within a week.

Consider me interested. :)
If I may suggest, it you follow through in writing up something... put it up on the Wiki and then link to that in your journal. (There's probably some stuff up there to start from, anyway!)
/me wishes there were a way to auto-explore and document (textually and graphically) connections between servers and the processes that run on each one.

It's already on the wiki [soylentnews.org]. It's not entirely up to date but I'm not putting Aluminum up there until it's actually in service doing things.
