My apologies... the classiccmp server crashed, and it took some real
doing to get it functional again. It was not a hardware issue, it was
an issue with both Xen and FreeNAS (mostly Xen as to the delay in
getting it back up). I'm embarrassed to admit, but I finally had to
open up a per-incident support case with Citrix to get the thing
resolved.
On the bright side, there are backups (daily) of mysql, the website
content directories, and the mailman archive, so no data was ever at
risk. However, since those aren't full system backups - recovery from
them would have been a bit time-consuming but certainly doable with no
data loss. Yes, I'm setting up monthly snapshots (or vm exports)
shortly just in case it happens again.
Best,
J
