This evenings dinner we introduced my firstborn daughter to solid foods. Choose carrots since its a staple vegetable of our house and wanted to introduce a vegetable first over a fruit. Carrots are kinda sweet though.

We hadnt thought about doing it until her 4 month pediatrition apppointment where our peditrition had asked about if we were planning to or have started. I dont think either of us had really considered that it would be so soon! So we figured that soon we would be giving it a try. I had a lot of questions about what to expect as far as my daughters reaction. She had said that it didnt really matter, the main point was to simply introduce her to the concept of solid foods. She could just smear it over her face and that’d be fine.

Didnt write down when it started but was down for almost 2 weeks.

Full outtage of all important systems due to an issues with the CEPH cluster.

One of the two OSDs failed and this caused all volumes to not mount. Curiously, all data is mirrored between the two (so no data loss) but having one OSD down brought it all down. I have had a previous OSD failure, but dont recall it doing this. One thing I’ve noted is that my .mgr pool is in a 3x replica even though I’ve only ever had 2 OSDs up at a time. Not entirely sure how it got a 3x replica. So my guess is that with it down to 1 replica it refused to service writes and these writes are required to mount volumes. Haven’t found any documentation in CEPH that backs this usage pattern of .mgr or hypothosis up.

Set out to create my first public facing blog. Went with Hugo as the engine mainly because I like the idea of being able to write in markdown and it seemed like the best one to start with.

So far its been pretty decent.
