george Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thaivisa server up and running! Hardware failure Welcome back! Yesterday we had a serious harddisk crash in our RAID cluster. All data is now restored and we hope that everything works as it should. It took some time to get the new hardware delivered. No data was lost. Our apologizes for the downtime.

britmaveric Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Isn't the whole point in RAID clusters to be failsafe? redunancy system - mirrored drives. One fails other kicks in while you sort out the failed drive. However guess it all depends on how things are setup with their hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I even texted to JaiDee to ask if it was down. He called me back and said that he doesnt know as he has moved into a new house. So no JD for a couple of weeks. Texted Chuchok but no reply. Probably on the piss. Again! Anyway good to see it back up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One fails other kicks in while you sort out the failed drive. However guess it all depends on how things are setup with their hardware. True....there are many types of raids... one that provides redundancy, one that makes a batch of disks act like one super disk, one that joins a batch of disks to make the entire thing faster by distributing data across disks.....

wolf5370 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) Thank god for that! I tried emailing yesterday, but that bounced too. Was so withdrawn had to sign up for the Bear Pit - slapped a couple of 12 y/o slagging each other off - saw some old faces (er User Names) over there though. Glad to be back, I was getting worried I'd have to do some work! PS: Site seems much fatser now! Because not many users noticed its back, or because the new hardware is better?

I would have thought that a RAID arrray for a webserver would be set up for redundancy (RAID 5 at least). If that's the case George ought to ask for his money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
