+Erik 1,731 Posted January 31, 2013 I think I've got everything site related back up and running 100%. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. I may have to reboot the machine one more time to change some settings on our private network adaptors but it will be quick. i'll use that time to also test our reboot and back to life settings. Thanks for bearing with me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Erik 1,731 Posted January 31, 2013 I've heard it called a lot of things. Three finger salute <CTRL+ALT+DEL>, bounce the connection, etc etc. But yep it's a reboot as we all know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zola25 3 Posted February 1, 2013 Thank you Erik... you do a marvellous and unsung job (I should know I work in IT) so from me at least many thanks... and I will raise a glass to it all being successful. +1. I've renewed for another year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Erik 1,731 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm running on my last ounce of energy here and I have one more thing we need to reboot for. This will be minimal downtime but none the less it needs to happen. After that we are reborn again with both feet planted firmly on the ground. I made some changes to the accounts last night which will relate to over all storage of data per each user. Based on our membership and storage capacities this was something I wanted reviewed and now it's done. Please feel free to jump in and let me know if you see anything that could need improvement or needs to be added. Time for a well deserved nap or two or three.

Zola25 3 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks for your hard work Erik :) Not a big thing, but I am having some problems using the search function in the download section. It does not appear to be returning results for entries that should match. Edited February 2, 2013 by Zola25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zola25 3 Posted February 2, 2013 Ok sure. Can you tell me more about the problem like what you are trying to search and what you're expecting to see? Sure. I was looking for Spanish Hornet Skins, searching for "Spanish" returned no results, but by browsing manually I could see many files that should match this pattern. However, I've just tried this again a few moments ago and it seems to be working fine now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I've just tried this again a few moments ago and it seems to be working fine now Well really thank you. Had you not said anything I wouldn't have known that searchd wasn't configured to start automatically. I had to start the daemon, reload it's descriptors, and then set it's runtime at startup to on. Something I finished before you got back to check it again. E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Erik 1,731 Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for all your hard work Erik! My pleasure and thank you. As much as I piss and moan about all the work when it comes to moving and upgrades it has a purpose. In our old configuration our RAID10 array was composed of 4 drives, equal size all working as one with two mirrored (RAID1) and two striping (RAID0) for replication and speed respectively. Post carnage reports from the data center guys as they disassembled our old machine reported that one of the drives in the RAID1 mirroring set was crashed. It must have just happened because I usually run a transaction report on the raid controller to see the raid health at the beginning of each month. The last time I saw that report, beginning of January, everything was fine. So we're on new drives now anyway, all is fine, and I never had to worry about a degraded drive that I never knew existed. Sweet! Take care and thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You shouldn't let your personal situation stop you from downloading files from here. In fact with things the way they are now is when you need the distraction the most. Download whatever you need and have fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E No problem at all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'm an IT Professional IRL and have done a few platform migrations in my time, there's always more to learn from each one! The site definitely feels a little more "snappy" in use now too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
