System is panicking looks like fsck has created problem
Issue
- There was a NAS migration yesterday. Part of our procedure in these migrations is to unmount filesystems impacted and shutdown automount services. This was done on this server and 3 others that run the same applications. There were hundreds of other servers in our environment that were also impacted by the migration.
- During the post-migration process, there was an unrelated network outage at the same time and these servers were rebooted because they were not accessible on the network. (Did not realize at the time there was a network outage).
- The server in question required an fsck on the way back up, which was done. It started panic rebooting after that and has not been accessible since. So, the fsck is the only thing that may have contributed, although suspect there was other damage already in place on the server.
