PLEASE LOOK AT THE DATE OF THE POST YOU REPLY TO!!!
« on: January 31, 2014, 05:50:08 AM »
If you look at the dates of recent discussions, you'll see they aren't recent, please refrain from responding to the old discussions unless it's something of interest that needs an update.

Thanks,

Tim

The GBO Atlanta Server has had a hard drive start to fail and has caused all the downtime.
The server runs 2 hard drives using LVM to span both disks as one drive. (1TB) This has created a problem for me as I can not just slap a new drive in and hope to recover the data that has been lost as part of it is on one drive and part on the other.

The problem happened late Wed night and I have been working on it pretty much non stop since early Thursday morning when I was finally able to get home.

I found a good and complete backup from Jul 2 2013 and was able to restore the posts from that backup and then insert the up to date members data and PM data making it only posts / topics that we lost. All other data should be intact and has now been backed up. I have minimal use of the Atlanta server to try  and prevent further data loss. I Hope to be able to get a new server in here in a day or three and then get it swapped out. I should be able to recover much of what we have lost but it could take a week or so to do it. Please hang in there and don't give up on us as I am doing everything in my power and ability to restore the site.

Thank You for your Understand.
Matt

I thought all the locked posts were from the mad rush following two days of downtime.  :D

Thanks, Dinny

The good part about the crash is the lost posts from a certain member of the frozen north casting aspersions on a thoughtful, kind, respectful.gentle person from Texas ;D

We have ordered a new server. It will ship out on Monday and hopefully be here on Wednesday. Matt will have to load everything onto it and then head to Atlanta to install it to replace the failing server there. For now we are operating entirely from our local servers here at Matt's house.

For now we've lost all data since last July but Matt is pretty sure that once he gets the hard drives from the Atlanta server in hand here he can restore pretty much all that data. At worst tho we've lost six months worth of posts but everything else is intact and we think those are still there and he will just need to work his magic to restore them.

Hope it doesnt undo any stuff on the FAQ's, last week when I went there it looked like it had been updated and was great.

Any links to FAQs discussions made in the last 8 months won't be valid, but any information added or linked to prior to 8 months ago will still be there, hopefully Matt will be able to recover the last 8 months of the database from the hard drive on the old server once he gets it in hand.
