Hi all, I need to let everyone know that server #1 is going to be down today for some much needed maintenance. As is stands right now it looks like we've got some bad sectors on the hard drive that are causing issues. What were going to do is shut everything down and run a check disk, reboot and hope for the best, if things go well we should be good to go, if things go bad we'll need a new hard drive.

The following won't be available during maintenance, ATAG server #1 CLOD, IL2 1946 HSFX and our TS3 server. I can't exactly how long it will be down, but I wouldn't expect it to go longer than four hours, so please spread the word, be patient and thanks again for being part of the ATAG community.

All,

Sadly it appears like the disk is dying slowly and will have to be replaced.

More information when available.

The dying disk served us well. May it rest easy in disk Heaven.

ATAG_Colander · #5 07-17-2012, 03:56 AM

We hope to have the new disk installed by tomorrow.

Out of interest, how old was the disk and what will you replace it with - SSD?

RAID-1 or RAID-5 would be even better for reliability

ATAG_Colander · #8 07-17-2012, 03:46 PM

The server is not ours. We pay a hosting company for the hardware and bandwidth.
There might be RAID configurations available but they will be more expensive and I think we can all live without the server for a couple of days while is being rebuilt.

I am not so sure if I really want to wait so long. After some break I just started to be quite enthusiastic about the CLOD and ATAG dream team again.

Good luck getting the server online.
