Hello,
We are back up and running! This took alot of effort from both sides.
To read about what exactly happened go here http://forums.dathorn.com/showthread.php?t=2538
Too bad it had to happen to us. But midibox is lucky. I lost 2 domains that i am unable to restore now.
Regards,
Jeffry
Thanks Twinny!!!
Ouch. I had a feeling that you’d lost an array controller when I saw the empty gzo host… Same thing happened to us with a customer’s server a few weeks ago… It’s really harsh mate, I hope you’re not copping too much flak over it.
Thanks Jeff for your efforts!
…is this now a backup running? Because I think there are some posts missing.
Greets, Roger
Yeh I think it might have been restored from the backup from Thursday night, which means Friday daytime is lost forever, floating electrons in the sky
Oh yeh the smileys are busted too I think. Ihatecomputersface
OK I made that one up, but all forums should have that smiley 
I wonder if I write Wink now if it will become a winky face later? heheheh
Hey Ilmenator&co I don’t suppose you backed up the GLCD project docs? I’m really keen to check it out, and I read the post saying that it was on the wiki in full, and clicked the link… and that was the exact moment the servers died I think.
Edit: Twin-X, these are neither demands nor mere suggestions that you fix this stuff, just stuff I’ve observed. No pressure, mate 
yes a backup of thursday is running.
I will try to fix the smiley’s on a more relaxing hour
Hey stryd,
you are right, only the teaser is up there… sorry, I currently do not have access to the documents myself and I am back on a slow modem connection after a year of DSL (but that will change again very soon), Gertius will go to Australia for half a year or so tomorrow, but I hope that some of the other guys have time for uploading the stuff again very soon. I will send some emails to them right now :).
Best regards and thanks for restoring that forum so quickly twin - I caught myself checking it every other hour… Am I an addict?
ilmenator
PS: One more teaser here… ;D
Oh Geez. Array failure… this makes me nervous to go to work tommorow…
Thanks for the work TwinX!
what make/model controller you using?
well done for getting it back up again!

Thanks for the update illy.
Well I didn’t check quite that often, but I checked a fair bit, and I will admit to announcing “awesome!” rather loudly when the RSS feed suddenly sprang to life
I think part of it was knowing the forum was back up, and part of it was knowing the weight that came off twin-x’s shoulders
oh, Twin-x, I’m lucky not being you
Thanks for your effords, this weekend must have been hell!
At least now I know that I’m quite addicted, cause I missed the mb-forum alot…
now if I could only remember what I’ve added to the c tips and tricks page on friday ??? <scratch-head>
Well done getting everything back online!

Argh I read that too! Darn what was it?! <scratch scratch>
Im just curious, whats the average bandwidth requirements for the forum? How much data is used per month? Im only asking as I may be able to offer a a linux server here in Australia which is on a 24mb/s connection which could be used as a mirror, or at least a place to back the data up. Its already used for business applications which require high uptime so its ready to go and pretty secure. Im not even sure it would help, but worth asking!

Can You offer anything that 1and1.com can’t offer? (it’s my preference)
*.midibox.org is these days hosted in pretty stable server(s) - Thank, Twin-X!
But lack off clustering with daily backups sounds, uh, sorta unprofessional

So far I remember, the current bandwith is about 20GB/month, it increases non-linear (we had about 15GB/month last year)
However, there is no need to move server, I’m very happy with the current solution, it runs much more stable and really fast compared to the servers we had ca. 3 years ago! Can’t thank Twin-X often enough!
Best Regards, Thorsten.
The currentbandwidth i set for midibox is 30GB as i allowed picture hosting as well.
I never knew backup was not included in my package. It costs 2 dollars a month per gigabyte on my whole server.
I just purchased it.
Do not only thank me but also our genorous donator’s who drop a coin from time to time! You know who you are!! So a big thanks from me towards you!

Hi TK/Twin-X,
miosstudio.midibox.org no longer seems to be working, is this related to the server failure?
Cheers,

This is related to the server crash all “sub” domains are gone.
It will be fixed.
Just use MIOS Studio for the time being.

Heh, You live and learn! ;D
Like my friend told me just few days ago: If one disk breaks in a Sun Blade, be sure to order replacements for ALL the disks, because in one month they’re all gone bad. (disks come from the same batch and MTBF is about the same)
I think dcr10 deleted his posting for no reason - nobody did step on the others feet, I guess.
Current hosting by Twin-X has been pretty solid, if You’re having troubles accessing the forum, it’s because recovering the websites hosted by him.
