Dammit!

What the hell is wrong with my colo box? For the second time in 10 days, it has gotten all weird on me and needed a reboot. This time, my “tail -F” on the various log files on my main domU was showing all sorts of ext3 errors. An attempt to log into the dom0 to reboot it got the now dreaded

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

I had to call Annexa to power cycle it.

This is ridiculous. Is it the machine? The disk? The combination of Xen and lvm? I’m not finding any clues in the logs.
