pouët.net

So, what actually happened?

category: general [glöplog]
 
Is there an official explanation to why scene.org and pouet.net went down? I did regular nmaps, and I can conclude that the connection to the server and the server itself was fine, (Having ssh, pop, and even some M$ services; I guess it's a shared IP) just that it didn't have a httpd running.
Was it perhaps a move made to annoy people at some certain party? Was it a planned maintenance? (According to a rumour, even ps didn't know what was going on.)
Or maybe it was just a plot made up to remind people of the volatility of everything?

ps didn't know what was going on? I find *that* very hard to believe, since he knows everything, ever.

Here's a recent publicity pic of ps at home in his comfy-chair:

Yeah, these sites seriously run on antilinux shared-hosting providers.

mail from jeffrey:

The downtime of the past few days were caused by the failure of two disks in the internal raid system which held the boot
filesystem for our server. All the imporant data (web,ftp,databases) was never at risk, because those are hosted on our
external raid array.

I took this downtime to move us to a new server which we recently stopped using at work. This new server is an HP Proliant
DL380 G4 with dual Xeon 3.2Ghz cpu's, 3GB of memory and 4x72GB U320 scsi disks in a raid setup. This should give us some
extra breathing room for the future in terms of processing power.

nitro: hey - here's an idea - why don't you stop creating threads that already exist (more than one even)
