Jeff Mack Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 We had a hard drive failure on the server today. I am trying to move the site to a temp server while this one is being rebuilt. That is why there have been a bunch of bugs and errors. I am trying to get things back to normal as soon as I can, but I am sure you will still having issues logging in from time to time, or see weird things. Sorry for the inconvenience Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I noticed a couple of weird things happen around 11 am this morning. Is that when you had the hard drive failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yes it started by corrupting some database tables and then went downhill from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 No worries! I'm sure you're doing all you can. The site will survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincevaughn Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Did the array go down or just a single drive...I assume you are running a RAID. Just curious and no worries, these things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ah. That explains the whole "let me see the latest unread messages in this thread" and it was taking me back a day or two issue I was having around 11AM this morning. Good luck guys.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I run 2 replicated RAID5 boxes at home so I have dual redundancy. May as well since I have a GoldPlate Server 2012 licence from work and too much music and films to lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to admit I've never heard of it, but Google doesn't seem to know either. Now I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrickClique Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Probably the only thread in the forums where SSD may come up in conversation and we won't be referring to 10221. My day job is in SSD engineering. And not the star-destroying type. I get a little nervous anytime talks about SSD retirement :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Goldplate Server? I didn't want to admit I've never heard of it, but Google doesn't seem to know either. Now I'm curious. Basically an enterprise licence open to employees that work from home. I still prefer OSX though but I have to pay for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly after seeing some of the horror stories of RAID recovery I just keep mine in JBOD with a suitcase of backups in the closet. That way I don't have to worry about it. Keeping it simple although it is getting hard to keep up with over 40tb spread across five machines :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I am not able to load pictures in my galleries. Would these issues be the reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold-Arrow Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Most of my BP notifications are going to my junk folder for the last few days even though I keep marking them as safe. Would those two events be related in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping it simple although it is getting hard to keep up with over 40tb spread across five machines Don't make the mistake of thinking that RAID is a backup system, because it's not. It's just a way of keeping your server up-and-running during a disk crash. You should always backup critical data, regardless of the RAID level you're using. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
