Seems the PF database HD is failing. It is scheduled to be replaced on Thursday at 11PM CDT.

There will be a bit of downtime. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just switch to a SCSI drive.

I'll have to check with Greg on that. Not sure how often he's checking in right now.

Moonbear

Oh boy. Maintenance being done while Greg is away. Do we still have the alternate PF Yahoo site to gather with our support groups if we have to go through withdrawal if the whole site goes down until he returns?

Evo

Astronuc and chroot have the ability to work directly with the data center anytime Greg travels, so any down time should be minimal.

Moonbear the alt PF support site is a secret, used only for urgent communications like "ugh, what happened, I can't get in", "I know I can't get in either", "can anyone get in?", "not that I know of".

Borek

We can always gather in a bad place where nobody knows who is who.

dlgoff

That was my thought also.

Welcome home Evo.

...gasp...!

Wow, soooo glad you fixed it, Greg. Thanks! Nighty-night, sweet dreams !

zomgwtf

It would appear that we lost quite a bit of posts .

At least it's all fixed now. Thanks Greg

++What you drinking huh?

Greg Bernhardt

yeah we lost all the posts from late morning, I don't think it was up more than a couple hours

Finally! I have a PF addiction. Sometimes, it can be hard to quantify.

cronxeh

Ah this is so not cool. I was updating the page all day and its down! Finally its up. Hey how much space do you guys use? We should pitch in and get SSD, im sure the forum is under 250 gigs?

russ_watters

Nice.

Greg Bernhardt

It was a combination of problems, not just the hard drive, I won't go into detail. Data centers are very slow in adopting SSD. Once they are reliable and readily available we'll definitely hop on that train.
