Site recovered

Definitely have to give the server credit, it sure does know just when to explode. Naturally the server died while I was sleeping and then waited for a day I was completely consumed with this weeks DST patching fiasco at work so things were down a little longer than they should have been.

For those who are interested in knowing, around 1:30am EST this morning the server running the Vanguard Spheres website tossed a disk. Thankfully between a combination of offsite backups that ran just 30 minutes prior to the disk dying and some heavy duty FSCKing I've been able to resurrect the server without any loss of data that I can see. Please keep an eye out for things that dont seem to be working properly. I'll be closely monitoring the server for further signs of trouble and may have to take it down again this weekend to move to another server if the disk and disk system continue to have trouble. I'll keep you posted and my apologies for the outage.

Re: Site recovered

good to see the site back up Piro I was wondering all day what was up. Glad it was an error that you could recover from - and hooray for a server admin that actually runs backups

Re: Site recovered

We did are DST patches last weekend so I'm done with that thank the Lord. All and all every thing went very smooth for us, but I'm sure on Monday we'll get some calls.

Re: Site recovered

Piro is the best, bar none!

A lot of my friends have been consumed with this DST issue, including my hubby that continues to send out messages reminding people that the time change is THIS week and any present atomic clock will not work after this (blank, blankity blank) idea of congress.

If they had ANY idea of how much $$ it had cost us and Canada to do this...not that they care. They don't see the time/money spent trying to get ready. They think the outcome will be more important, over...how many years???



But, we're here, and thanks to you, Piro!

Re: Site recovered

I didn't realize how dependent I was on this site. I wanted to create another character and I sat at my desk in utter despair futilely trying to get the site to load saying

"NO! You can't be down NOW!!"

I';m so happy it's back though! Thanks Tons Piro!
