When you work with the old systems, you are always afraid to shutdown the machine, because more often than not, it will not boot up. And if you petition to replace it with a new machine, you may very likely hear the phrase "We are planning to move the app to cloud, so no need to build a backup in the meanwhile". |

Months later, we had a power outage (scheduled I think, I don't recall).
Anyway, at some point during the transition and such, I managed to have the machines hard mount NFS across each other.
As long as one of the machines is up, everything is rosy. But cold start? They were both hanging while restoring the mount (which, they couldn't because neither was "up").
Took us about 1/2 hr to suss out what was happening and get single user in to tweak it, but...yea...exciting!
"Smart" people do this kind of innocent stuff all the time.
