Server Hardware Failure

Tue May 15, 2012 1:08 pm

Today I've had some issues with the server. The two OCZ SSD's that we have in RAID0 are being reported by our operating system as having a partially corrupted file system. This is obviously not good.

Another issue is one of the storage arrays on the server for my personal files has decided to degrade and many of my files have become corrupted and unusable. I'm going to have to buy some new hard disks and do a rebuild.

Not to worry of course everything is backed up but it may result in some unscheduled server downtime at any moment as disk corruption can cause a lockup. I'm currently doing some repairs where I'm able but I may need to change out disks soon and even RMA these SSD's if they crap out on me.

Anyway just thought I'd update everyone. If the server is down for an extended period of time I will move the game servers on to a 2nd server I have which has almost identical specifications to the current one so it won't be much of a bother to you guys.

Happy Gaming.

I forgot to update this the other day but the hardware issues have been fixed and everything is working correctly again. The game servers were offline for about 1 hour in total while I did repairs that was on the 15th of May.
