Features Temporarily Disabled Due To Instability

[Greg Bernhardt]

We've been experiencing some instability so until I figure out the exact cause some features will be disabled off and on throughout the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Our IPMI card appears to be a culprit in the server's instability. It has been replaced.

 

[Evo]

Thanks for all of your hard work Greg!

 

[Astronuc]

Thanks Greg. I hope it didn't ruin your Sunday afternoon.

Is that related to the long list of errors I'm currently seeing on the main index page?

This is what they all are:

What an irony.

 

[NeoDevin]

This is what they all are:

I got something similar.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

we may end up replacing the disk drive

Is PF about to collapse under the weight of the 2,000,000 postings?

Obviously we have some kind of crisis, either soft of hard. Hopefully Greg will be able to deal with the problems soon. Fingers crossed Greg

Thankfully the DB is on a separate HD and is healthy. Maybe our 800,000 latex images are wearing down the web server HD :) Looking into getting it replaced ASAP.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

main hard drive will be replaced between 1am and 4am CST wed morning

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

the worst is over now, some things may still be broke like latex and attachments. working on these now

 

[Vanadium 50]

Wow...that was some "worst"!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Wow...that was some "worst"!

tell me about it! i have no slept yet and it's noon here :(

 

[lisab]

tell me about it! i have no slept yet and it's noon here :(

I appreciate your hard work, Greg...thanks!

 

[mgb_phys]

Thanks Greg.
Been there, done that, bough the T-shirt.
At least you only have disgruntled users breathing down your neck in cyberspace - they don't know where you live !

 

[Andre]

Great Job Greg, Thanks

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

ok attachments are back. talked to chroot, he said he'd look at latex soon

 

[Borek]

Thanks Greg, I felt uneasy for the whole day...

Great to see LaTeX back up and the upgrades in the blogs are a plus. One small issue is that putting blogs into categories has been disabled, also when you edit an existing blog and save it, it drops out of the category it was in and ends up in uncategorized. No big deal but I imagine you would want to know.
