[BlueOnyx:10399] Re: Missing vhosts data

[Ernie]

Hi Michael,
if it wasn't grub, then it may have been me typing reboot at the command
line whilst something was still being processed during the large yum update,
though yum had returned back to the command prompt, but I don't know what
happens in the background after thae update.


It was definately cmuExport, on 5106R. 
I used cmuExport with no flags. I also deleted everything in /home/cmu first.

I actually sat in the /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts dir in another terminal window
and watched the files gradually appear as each site was processed. The
siteX.inculde files were wrong, no content, but the siteX files had all the right data, and
current timestamps. I already have a backup running on another serever so I
am not stressed, I am just testing things to see how different recovery attempts work.
