We lost power while we were out on Thursday and did not get power again until about noon on Saturday. The spare box I built the router in was not setup in bios to power on after a power outage and the xen box (owl) did not come back up.
The biggest problem on owl was a combination of selinux and a xen bug, so I upgraded the kernel and moved the virtual machines to /var/lib/xen/images where selinux thinks they should exist. I did create a soft link to /xen so the configs would work. On an up note, the VMs now start on boot correctly which had been a problem.
My brother was caring for our dog while we traveled last week. Oreo was on a chain with a clasp and someone stole her while my parents were out and my brother was sleeping. Now I have two crying girls – my wife and daughter – and my 2 year old son doesn’t understand that she is gone and not coming back.
If you care to read the extended version of my upgrade and relinking it is in the “More…”
