Ubuntu 8.04 unresponsive after restart

  • 772

I have a Godaddy Dedicated server running Ubuntu 8.04. When I restart the server it will randomly not come back online. I cannot access it through SSH or the web.

Godaddy support has to reboot the server and disable iptables, restart SSH and then run fsck on the hard drive.

This has happened multiple times, I'm trying to find where the issue is coming from.

I setup iptables > 1 year ago and cannot remember how I set it up and cannot tell if my iptables are to blame or not.

My iptables -L is:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 798K packets, 65M bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
   61  6040 fail2ban-ssh  tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            multiport dports ssh

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 797K packets, 47M bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain fail2ban-ssh (1 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
   61  6040 RETURN     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere

Any ideas?

    It turns out that the Hard Drive was in the process of dying and in the span of 1.5 days I had to run fsck to fix the corruption 5 times.
