Hi All,
Today box4 was restarted for some unknown reason. Since box2 is still being run from the chroot environment, its services didn't come up automatically. I restarted svscanboot from the chroot with
nohup /usr/bin/svscanboot &
but before it could work, I had to create the /dev/null device by running
sudo mknod /srv/box2/dev/null c 1 3
from box4. This brought up all services but apache2 and mysql. I started apache2 manually by running
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
But I couldn't start mysql. I suspect that it requires a few more devices, and maybe the /proc filesystem too, but it's hard to tell without having syslog. I have close to zero experience with these kind of things, so I'd like to ask someone with more exprience (Tobias) to help us out with this. This means that all services but bugs.squeak.org should be up and running again.
I think it's good time to reconsider moving the services of box2 to box4. For example, I remember Chris Muller having a Magma-based SqueakSource implementation running on box4. Is that ready for production use?
