@tant@nrw.social ah. That. There is no story. It just has to do with the order of booting machines in a cluster who refer to each other in each others' .hosts file. There are many boot orders that wedge in unexpected ways. Ultimately you kind of work out through experience which machines to boot when. During a power failure this can be a thing.

@tant@nrw.social I even experienced echoes of this issue at Reliable Software Technologies (later Cigital) in the mid '90s.
