The fastest way to crash a Linux System

Symptom:

When installing HP Hardware Monitoring hpasmcli) prompts you need to rely on the Glibc-2.7, and the local is the Glibc-2.5, it seems to have to upgrade Glibc, but unfortunately there are more dependencies during the upgrade, when we thought that hpasmcli was successfully installed on other servers, we thought that we could copy the glibc library files from other servers directly to the local machine. The files involved were:

 

 
 

  
  
/Lib/libc-2.5.so #32-bit System
  
  
/Lib64/libc-2.5.so #64-bit System
 
 

Because the server system I operate is 64-bit, a large number of Kernel errors are reported immediately on the screen at the moment of overwriting/lib64/libc-2.5.so files, as shown below (where host refers to the server host name ):

Then the system crashes and cannot log on again.

Urgently contact the data center to restart the server and inform that the server cannot be started.

Ah, I personally caused this accident! 650) this. width = 650; "src ="/neweditor/editor/images/smiley/2.gif" alt = ""/>

Key points:

Glibc is the libc library released by gnu, that is, the c Runtime Library. Glibc is the most underlying api in linux, and almost any other Runtime Library will depend on glibc650) this. width = 650; "src ="/neweditor/editor/images/smiley/12.gif" alt = ""/>. Glibc not only encapsulates the system services provided by the linux operating system, but also provides implementation of many other necessary functional services. Because glibc covers almost all of the UNIX standard, it is conceivable that its content is all-encompassing.

Tips for upgrading Glibc: do not install Glibc on a running system. Otherwise, the system will crash. At least install the new Glibc in another separate directory, to ensure that the Glibc currently in use is not overwritten. I will cover it with ignorance, thanks !)

Solution:

Rush to the machine room, fortunately I saved the original library file libc-2.5.so.bak under the directory/lib before the replacement), use the Linux system disk to enter the "rescue mode ", restore the two replaced library files and restart the system;

If the system is started normally, hand it over to colleagues from other departments to restore the data. I will tell you that I am running a DB server !)
