Kimsufi - Unable to ssh due to bash input output error
---------- siljrath 15/02/2014, 12h59 ~ new update.
switched the netboot from rescue pro to a 3.10.23 option from the dropdown menu, instead of back to "hd"… is this is a standard/acceptable long-term resolution to the issue? ~ to just run from this kernel netboot option instead of actually fixing the kernel on the hd (which presumably was the case, some kind of kernel mismatch ~ Hwh called it).
well anyways, after it rebooted, i retried ssh'ing in as standard, and it's all looking good. can ssh.
all in all, this has been a good experience, nice to see more of the wonderful support tools ovh offers. server uptime had been mere days away from 300 last i had looked (surely past it by the time of this first and only hiccup), which was nice [uptime] in itself, and now i'm even happier with my ovh/kimsufi service now i know a bit more of what is at my disposal should things go wrong again in the future.

siljrath 15/02/2014, 12h18 big thnx for the responces. i'm now in the recue system. poked around with the web interface tests a bit, and then went to ssh in. with the drives mounted, i can confirm that the disks are not full: Code:
with the connection here, it'd take a day choking out our bandwidth to get a full backup of all the 25G in home.
somewhat scared to attempt chrooting into it from the rescue system to se what i could accomplish.
this post is effectively just an update.. still rather daunted and clueless, in need of help. thnx

Rindus 13/02/2014, 17h14 siljrath: boot from rescue and move all stuff from home to [whereever]. Give it another shot. Whilst in rescue you might want to do a diskcheck too.

RawrDragon 13/02/2014, 16h58 I'm not sure what the issue might be, but I've experienced similar problems with a full root partition. Are you out of free space maybe?
----------
Hwh 13/02/2014, 16h41 you could start with an "ssh … dmesg" to see the kernel log (hardware failure related notices?). Or do an "ssh … smartctl -a /dev/sda" (but that will need root login)…
----------
siljrath 13/02/2014, 16h22 if it's got to be one of those two, i hope it's the former, since surely that'll be easier to remedy… but then, i suppose it's not me who has to fix the hardware.
also, just tried "ssh -t ks392457.kimsufi.com /bin/sh" (and every other shell i could think of), which all only got me to either the same bash errors, or command not found. oh how i regret not installing zsh now, it might have helped me avert this.
gone to look for "rescue system"
----------
Hwh 13/02/2014, 16h15 Kernel mismatch or hardware failure, I'd say. You will probably have to take a look via rescue system.

siljrath 13/02/2014, 16h08 unable to ssh into my server.
can ping, can mount with sshfs, can use ssh if i tell it not to do so non-interactively (like for use as a proxy or whatever) ~ just found out i cant scp either (see below)
Code:
$ ssh 176.31.109.148 Password: Gentoo Base System release 2.1 Linux ks392457.kimsufi.com 3.2.13-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 29 09:48:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom™ CPU D425 @ 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
("ovhtoo" being the name i have for it in my local /etc/hosts)
I'm not sure what's causing this. some update and configuration error on my part? (not that i recall doing anything that could cause this) some error from a hardware reset or from ddos recover or something? (surely i'd have seen notification of any such) something else, i know not what…
