[Today’s run: 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n
We had an outage with our radio station playback computer over the weekend.\u00a0 It was working OK on Friday night.\u00a0 But on Sunday morning I could no longer talk to the computer over the network.<\/p>\n
I went out to the shed and it was showing a ATA error on the console, as if a disk was no longer accessible.<\/p>\n
I booted it into the startup screen and sometimes the two mirrored LVM disks would show and sometimes not.<\/p>\n
After church and lunch, I removed the drives and blew out the carcass with compressed air.<\/p>\n
Putting the drives back in, they were showing up in the setup display so I tried booting and it all came up.\u00a0 I don’t know if it was the air blow-out or removing\/reinstalling the disks or what.\u00a0 This PC is from 2009 I think, it is plenty old.\u00a0 And it probably is taxing the power supply to have two drives installed.<\/p>\n
Then I went into the graphical disk manager and I could see that one of the pair of mirrored drives was not up to date with the latest changes, so I clicked the buttons to get things sync’ed again.\u00a0 I also looked at the error logs for both disks and the disks showed up as working normally.<\/p>\n
And it’s been running fine since then.<\/p>\n
I’m going to look for another PC to have on hand in case this one goes away again.<\/p>\n
My understanding of the LVM mirroring tools is not very good.\u00a0 I’m glad to see the graphical disk tool seems to work pretty well.<\/p>\n
