Twam Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Greetings all , Unfortunately it seems that one of our Hard Drives are on it's way out and is in need of being replaced. I am unable to give any exact times but can definitely say that this drive will be replaced ASAP. Rest assured all our your information (Posts, Shouts, Uploads, etc...) is all safe and not even stored on the malfunctioning drive. My temporarily hot fix should prevent any issues until the drive is replaced but just wanted to post this to keep everyone informed or any possible downtime.

Fishy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 That could explain all the glitches occurring in the shoutbox and everywhere else. Hope it works out as good as you think it will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thank you for posting this Twam. I wish the replacing goes well and easy for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's getting worse... I think the shoutbox tab needs to be removed, because it's malfunctioning, not the Shoutbox itself, just the tab. Because it works fine from the forums tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twam Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well first step is going to be done today, to have the smallest amount of downtime im actually planning 3 downtime's. Instead of doing it all at once the first downtime will just be adding a new drive while leaving the current one in which should only take a matter of miniutes to shutdown the server add a new drive then boot back up. Then at a later time/date (off peak hours) mitigate all the data from 1 drive to the other (this will take the longest amount of time), then again at a later time/date shutdown the server to remove the old HDD which should only take a couple miniutes. So the first step should happen within the next couple hours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twam Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Step 1 done, the Drive has been added So some time during our off peak hours i will be transferring all our data from our Current/Old/Malfunctioning Drive to the new one that has just been added. Then again some time after that the faulty drive will be removed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
