So a panic is a panic, right? Well yes in that is stops your server dead in its tracks, but the how you deal with it is the important thing. I’ve been frustrated for a long time with Linux and FreeBSD (Linux more so) regarding the lack of good post-mortem crash analysis facilities.Some background might be helpful here. One of the clusters that my company administrates has 10 FreeBSD 5.3, 1 FreeBSD 5.
I just bought an iPod nanofor Lisa. The is, hands-down, the sexiest electronic device I’ve ever seen. It makes my (not so old) iPod 40GB look like an anchor. The thing is just gorgeous. Very few technologies make me show my O-face. For software, it’s dtrace. For hardware, it’s the Apple iPod nano.
