[mythtv-users] HDhomerun crash backend lockup

This weekend I saw my first major problem with my MythTV setup in over six
months.  One of the frontends lost the connection to the back end.  I logged
on to the backend machine and restarted the backend process.  But the
frontends still couldn't connect.  The backend log didn't show any
problems.  The backend was running.  I tried stopping/restarting mysql and
mythbackend many times and restarted the backend computer but the frontends
still couldn't connect.  Eventually I reset (unplugged & plugged back in) my
two HDhomeruns.  Once I did that and restarted mythbackend the frontends
were able to connect and everything was rosy.

I assume one of the HDhomeruns was locked up and not responding correctly
and that was causing the backend to not respond.  This looks like a minor
problem.  But it was very difficult to diagnose because the backend log
didn't say anything bad and mythbackend kept running.
