amigaworld.net down, HD Failure.
« on: September 02, 2004, 05:09:20 PM »
Subject says it all.

Seems I can't access it here (from work) at all. I'm used to DNS c*ckups at home knocking me out, but from work is a new one. Seemed OK this morning, now I get a connection refused message.

Is it just happening here or what?

Hum,

Hd failure ....you mean they have only one HD?

They make backups every week, you think?


Perhaps it`s just  `normal`, and they just installed SP2?

@blobrana

It's done (backup) a tad more often then that, several time a day iirc.

And I think it's running on Red Hat Linux, so that'd kind of be dumb thing to do yes. ;-)

Only desktop ones, and servers which handle the kind of traffic AW gets would blow up a cheap-as-chips desktop IDE drive soon anyway. Those are the low end rubbish. Servers use high-end SCSI beasts, or should.

Update

The server harddrive developed lots of damaged blocks, this caused the server to crash and has corruped lots of data, luckily most of these corruped data files are system files and not website or database files.

The OS has been booted up in Recovery mode and we are currently tar'ing hda3 (18GB) to a remote location using an ssh tunnel (thanks Sibbi). This will take serveral hours.

Once that is done support will replace and partition a new harddrive with the OS installed.  Then we can restore hda3 to the new harddrive, and if all goes well we will be back online tomorrow.

Unlike the world-class Pegasos, which is in widespread use all over the internet.  I hear the BBC is now running their entire farm on Peg I's w/ April fix, running OpenBSD...

If you're trying to start a red/blue flame war, don't. Seehund isn't a Pegasos owner and never will be, so stick a sock in it.

Have you hugged your legion today?
