Howdy,

Isnt it always the case.

I left home today at 3pm to pick up my daughter and head off to see my Dad - I 3hr journey.

After catching up with him (havent seen him since Jan due to COVID), I thought I'd login to the BBS and see what's going on. It was dead.

According to the logs the Pi died at 2:58pm!

But all is back now (I'm hoping) and things should flow again. I'll check tomorrow morning for any reporting anything amiss!

Some folks have asked me why do I run ESXi on the Pi? This is why. I'm 300 klm away and not home until Sunday. With ESXi, I could connected to the web console, see that the drive had failed disappeared, reboot it (fingers crossed it re-appeared and it did), check/repair it, and then start the BBS VM...

Its been running a month or two under ESXi, so its pretty solid - hoping my USB drive isnt failing - fingers crossed... ;)

....лоеп

.... Not tonight honey, ...I feel a modem coming on.
