Thanks to Yolanda for driving the logs.o.o recovery after some RAX<br>
maintenance on the log volumes.<br>
<br>
Just some thoughts -- firstly this host boots up into a graphical<br>
console which gives pretty but not terribly informative logo screen<br>
after you've pulled up the emergency console (at least it's not java<br>
any more?). I presume nobody would be unhappy if we fiddle the grub<br>
defaults to make this boot in text mode.<br>
<br>
What do we think about turning off boot fsck for the logs volume (and<br>
others)? I admit we rarely reboot this, but when we do, it doesn't<br>
seem strictly necessary to hold up boot for the long check on this<br>
large volume. While main-static volume is fsck-ing, /srv/static/logs<br>
is available from main-static and can buffer logs until its finished.<br>
This is what we're doing right now, but I had to get into the<br>
aforementioned console and convince it to continue booting.<br>
