拉西,关闭的看门狗

[b]Lassie - Linode自主系统关闭智能rEbooter[/b]

Lassie是一个关机看门狗。 如果你的Linode意外关闭,它将自动重新启动。 它的工作原理是检测你的Linode在没有关机工作的情况下关闭了电源。 为了防止循环,它将在15分钟内发生5次启动后放弃。

默认情况下是启用的,但可以在[url=https://www.linode.com/members/utilities/watchdog.cfm]Lassie页面[/url]中改变设置,该页面位于新的[url=https://www.linode.com/members/utilities/]Utilities子标签[/url]之外。

这样做的一个副作用是,现在从你的Linode内部 "重启 "会像预期的那样运作,但从你的Linode内部 "关机 "会导致Lassie启动并发出一个引导。 以前这两个命令都会导致关机。 我不可能赢:)。 一个解决这个问题的方法是通过Lish发布一个关机作业,通过为 "shutdown "创建一个别名来完成:"ssh LinodeUsername@hostXX.linode.com shutdown"。

计划通过电子邮件发出通知。

享受吧!

    A side effect of this is that now "reboot" from inside your Linode will function as expected, but a "shutdown" from inside your Linode will result in Lassie kicking in and issuing a boot. Previously both of those commands resulted in a shutdown. I can’t win :). [/quote]

    For what it’s worth, I think this a better default. I might reboot from inside the linode to make sure new libraries are in use, or just invoke the nostalgia of my WIndows day, but the only reason I shutdown is to re-arrange disks or somesuch, which I’m going to be doing from the Web UI anyway.

    Lassie is a shutdown watchdog.

    I’m a little curious — have shutdowns been a problem?

    I’ve been on Linode since ’04, and mine has never gone down on its own.

    I’m not trying to diss a new and valuable feature — but is it solving a problem that people actually have?

    Definitely not widespread. But, Linux has bugs from time to time, and so does UML. It’s just a nice thing to have, rather than having your Linode go down 5 minutes after you go to bed, and not knowing about it until you get up the next morning. This also solves the "It’s been 2 years since I’ve logged into linode.com, lost my password, the email address you have for me no longer works, and I typed reboot in my Linode and it didn’t come back up" issues (because I hack UML to shutdown on "reboot" so it’ll pick up any config changes between boots).

    I got a pretty major problem when I went to resize my main drive with the new disk space we’ve just been given. Lassie started booting before it finished and pretty nastily barfed the drive.

    Lassie should check that another job isn’t already running before forcing a boot!

    Lassie doesn’t boot your Linode — it just queues up a boot job. Jobs run one after another. And, the resize jobs *should* still be checking that your volume isn’t in use before doing anything… I’ll have a look at the logs.

    OK, I found, and squashed a bug. It was a race. We use the pid file that UML writes out in determining if a Linode is running or not. It turns out that UML doesn’t immediately write this file. If another job ran just after the Linode booted and then checked to see if the Linode was active, it would not find the pid file and assume it was ok to do its thing.

    Now boot jobs wait a few seconds, while checking to see if UML wrote out its pid file, before completing.

    This bug has been in here for a LONG time (way before Lassie), so I’m grateful to you for reporting this, but sorry it ended up in your filesystem being munched on a bit.

    That’s cool. It seems to have e2fscked without any real problems. My only issue now is that the Linode dashboard reports the fs as 20 gigs but inside the linode it’s still 16 gigs. I suspect it might need some manual command-line hackery to get it back in shape, but not sure where to start.

    Feel free to bring my linode down if you think you can resize it to its proper size. Otherwise, any ideas on how to do it?

    Try shrinking it to 16G (or 15G) and then re-enlarging? Also, what does fdisk show for the partition size? It’s possible that the partition got enlarged, but not the file
    system. If that’s the case, then you should be able to enlarge the file system from within the linode.

    That did the trick. Thanks!
