615744 - w32-ix-slave41 possible hard drive issue?

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 596366

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

Maybe it has a slow disk?  Needs some love in any case.

Comment 1

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

Disconnected it from the master.

Looks like NTFS has indexing turned on, and none of the other tweaks here:

Disk reformatted, tweaks applied, and re-connected to buildbot-master1:8010.

Comment 3

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

It's done a full clone of m-c since reattaching, which took 38 minutes to complete vs. 18 minutes on ix-slave32.

We should probably take this down to see if the hard drive is ok.

Comment 4

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

it's also failing make upload on shadow-central builds due to host key error.

http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=TraceMonkey/1291929389.1291934569.15182.gz is it doing a mochitest-other run with something stealing focus.

Comment 6

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

I logged onto it and didn't find any dialog or focus stealing but to be safe I've taken it offline for now. It also needs the host key error for shadow-central fixed.

Comment 7

Forwarding this to IT to look into the hard drive - see if it's one of the 'slow' ix machines?  Also please re-image if the hard drive seems fine so we can try again with this one.

Please don't assign bugs directly to me. Please assign them to the default for Server Operations. They'll get noticed sooner that way. Please do cc: me if you like.

Presumed drive failure. Imaging at 20MB/*minute* and falling.
