Server maintenance complete

Post by **FishPants** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 4:28 pm

Tonight (I've asked for 6pm Eastern time, but it may be later and I will update if possible if they pick a different time) our provider will be moving our server data onto a new hard drive and installing it back into the server. Downtime should be 30 minutes according to them, but I'm going to say 60-90 minutes to be on the safe side.

At that point in time, the server will be totally offline and unavailable. In the meantime I'm going to take another database backup, so posting will be slow as the table is locked in the database for the backup.

Edit -- Still haven't heard back from these guys, so 1800hrs Eastern isn't happening. Will update when they reply.

Edit 2 - They took the server offline last night (Was supposed to be tonight, but I got a bit yelly with the staff and I guess they took me literally when I said "ASAP"). Anyways we are on a new hard drive on the server, and I will keep monitoring to see if that helps (I still think it's a chipset issue and not the hard drive itself).
