[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq 2.4.1 failure

[dukeFan]

We recently had a rabbitmq broker fail and are unable to determine the
root cause. The broker is version 2.4.1, erlang is 14B02, running on
ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

After the failure we were not able to restart rabbitmq, it required a
system reboot. On the attempted restart we saw the message regarding
activating plugins, but hung and never completed. We don't have much
more information except the logs, which we are not able to fully
understand.

Thanks,
Mark.
