As many are aware of now, the server has crashed several times in ways that the machine had to physically be turned off and turned back on. It is displayed in a picture on the right. I'm going to try to explain the issue to the best of my understanding. Skip to the [[User:Mayor Mike#Summary|Summary]] section if you don't understand or want a quick run through.

The error <code> INFO: task jbd2/nvme0n1p2-:459 blocked for more than 120 seconds</code> is basically saying the task is trying to write to the disk and it has waited for over 2 minutes. Eventually it seems too many things are waiting and it just freezes up the system. Now this signifies it could be a issue with a drive. In my case, probably the main drive the OS is installed on because of the <code>nvme0n1p2</code> section. I fear this is warning us that the drive may soon fail, and I will be ordering a new, more expensive and reputable brand to replace it. Easy peasy, except for the fact this will require some downtime for the server when the drive gets replaced and the OS reinstalled. Reinstalling a drive will require all data is lost, but that's where my backup drive comes in. You, the end user, shouldn't notice any changes.
