free-dc: Drive crash

[zombie67]

Just FYI. Bok is aware, may not be able to address until tomorrow.

Is that another one of those SSD drives?

Cool. Fortunately for me, I'll be obsessively tracking my WUProp hours for the next couple days rather than my stats on Free-DC, so this is convenient. And that's what matters - my convenience.

[Bok]

Managed to step out of my meeting.

yes it's an SSD. Been fairly stable for a year or so since I implemented a round robin approach. I have hot spares thanks to donations from last year (3 of them), but am in Dallas through tomorrow. I may be able to create the database copy on the 3rd SSD existing though. Try that tonight.

[Bok]

I just hotspotted my laptop so I could log on. Might be worse. The other main SSD is also not responding now. So that might point to motherboard as too coincidental that both would go down at same time. Trying a remote reboot.

[Bok]

I'm monitoring, only thing I did was to move one of the databases across to a different drive. No errors so far, but then I got none from thursday evening through yesterday afternoon either, so we shall see...

[Bok]

UPDATE. Bizarrely, I remote rebooted the box and remounted the drives and they seem fine. fsck shows no issues. I've ran the stats update on one side of the database and it's running on the other right now.

Not sure if this worries me more, but once this finishes I'll switch them back on.

BOK, thank you for your efforts as always. If the server ends up needing anything, I think I can safely say we have your back. Please just keep us posted.

Friendly reminder for our team, there is a donate button on the bottom of the left hand column of all the stats pages.

I would like to help posting the link and image to Donate but I don't know how to do that. If one of you can help me on this I will post on TeAm Stones of The Day.

Thank you.
