This machine was being our router, it is the only machine aside from Inuvik that has more than one Intel NIC. So presently Iglulik is playing router but it only has one Intel and one Realtek interface, the Realtek is supposed to be capable of 100, 1G, and 2.5G but the Linux drivers for it are seriously broken and only function at 100mb/s hence we are at 1/10th our normal network speed.
The newly broken machine houses some shell servers and all the private virtual machines, and it died too rapidly to copy any data off. This is the machine that I just replaced the failed drive in the other day. There are indications that it may just be a bios battery, it will not save settings nor let me load defaults. So I’m going to start by changing that. If that does not fix it, then I am going to put that drive into my workstation, transfer all the files onto a 2TB flash drive and take them back to the co-lo to load onto the remaining machines, also stop by RE-PC and pick up another Intel NIC card. And then go from there.
Right now the following shell servers are operational:
popos, rocky, fedora, debian, mxlinux, and manjaro.
