It started around 16:30 Pacific time and we finally got the box back up at around 23:35. It turned out that the onboard RAID controller had gone bad which wasn't completely obvious initially. Sitting there staring at an fsck and wondering why it was taking so long. Thanks to Sean Bruno along with Peter and Scott at Yahoo for figuring it out and then moving the drives to a new chassis and getting us back up. We still have new hardware coming in the next week or two for both svn and www (y1 and y2) and we will be migrating off these boxes that have served us well since 2005. I think this is the first hardware problem we have had with them. -Rasmus --- ## #54841 — Lester Caine — 2011-08-24T07:35:21+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/54838#54841 · In reply to: #54838 Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > We still have new hardware coming in the next week or two for both svn > and www (y1 and y2) and we will be migrating off these boxes that have > served us well since 2005.

I've just had another warantee repair drive back in here seems like newer drives you can't even expect 3 years without a problem :( Yet I've got some 10Gb drives that have been running since the 90's. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php --- ## #54843 — Keloran — 2011-08-24T07:42:38+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/54838#54843 · In reply to: #54841 lester you dont work for this company do you http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Supporting-The-Twenty-Year-Server-Plan,-The-Ice-Machine,-and-The-Split-Monitor.aspx hehe > Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > > > […] > > Same disks for 6 years? > I've just had another warantee repair drive back in here seems like newer > drives you can't even expect 3 years without a problem :( Yet I've got some > 10Gb drives that have been running since the 90's. > > -- > Lester Caine - G8HFL > ----------------------------- > Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=**contact > L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk > EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ > Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// > Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/**index.php lester you dont work for this company do you > > http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Supporting-The-Twenty-Year-Server-Plan,-The-Ice-Machine,-and-The-Split-Monitor.aspx > > hehe No but I recognise the customer ... The server sits in the bottom of a cupboard behind the counter area ;) The disk always gets changed at the three year service though ( if it lasts that long these days :( ), and the data is backed up to other machines on the network. I've a lot of boxes that simply display a sequence of pictures. PHP system creates the list of static pictures and text pages with live data on. They just plod on year after year and many still have CRT monitors attached! Perhaps when the monitors finally dies they will cough up for a new display controller as well :) and the replacements will just have SSD's - no moving parts - so we might get another 20 years? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
