possible to update some rpms without updating
the release: https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg477184.html dnf updates can go wrong: https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg476574.html I had that happen to the server sitting behind me. It would have been much harder to recover from if the server, my eyes, and my hands were across the country. I once 'talked' someone through recovering from both drives failing in a md mirror. We replaced one drive and then the other failed. It was probably a heat problem since one or more case fans had failed. I actually never spoke to him (he has a thick accent which is hard to understand); we just conversed with SMS messages and screen shots. Don't take it that I'm recommending not to update. (Kids, don't try this at home). You just have to be cautious what you do to a server that has to be up 25 hours a day, 8 1/2 days a week, and 365 days a year which is hundreds of miles away. :-) I had one server that had 1100+ days uptime until the operator rebooted the wrong server in the cluster. This was a couple of years ago so, add about 730 days to that. We finally had to reboot last month because of a failing hard drive. I know you'll think I'm lying, but it was a Seagate Barracuda. =-O Bill |
