An explanation.
Initially Media Temple began receiving reports of minor disk corruption Thursday evening (failed email, a missing file here and there). Our staff began taking immediate corrective actions to repair the disk, and thus discovered that a single drive on the RAID array had failed without proper alerts or notifications. Without downtime we immediately replaced the drive to restore the RAID to its full operational status, normally a safe procedure. Consequently, major disk corruption occurred and the new drive also failed during the rebuild. We now understand the server problem to be beyond a simple disk failure.
Not to worry, I’m not going anywhere.
Like you were worried.
and I was all ready to report you as a f!@#$ed weblog over at davezilla…
oh i’m f@#k’d alright, but luckily, i have my files backed up now, and will be backing things up regularly …
i wonder who else went down? i am small potato(e)s compared to some of the other people hosted with (mt). but then again, they are probably all on dedicated servers.
