I don't know but I get the impression reading the forum here the last month's lots of disks had to be replaced because of failure.
www5 seemed to have had heat issues and looks like they affected the hdd now also.
Since we don't know the specs of the servers you are running there is no way telling if they are running in hardware or software raid. What raid levels are you using.
Have you considered storage on a san server instead of a raid server.
You should agree that so many drive failure in such a short time are not good.
Also in the example of solverglobal he could not login and i did not read that he got swtiched to another server automatically.
I have suggested a login to a seperate server to do it yourself manually. Is this an option you are looking at and is is a solution that can be implemented.
Actually we are not sure about the disk defect yet. This might have been false alarm because of other disk failures in the past.
In the data centers in Europe we are running software raid level 1. That provides us with a unified interface across different data centers. Failover from one data center to another should also work when raid subsystem failed.
Thanks again for your idea of a control panel for manual failover. This is not easy to implement and maintain, but we will try to incorporate it into future releases.
I can not login since this morning also and even can not check status over the internet. WWW5 is giving us lot't of problems recently.
I am expecting some important calls today and this evening and it will be emberrasing if they will not be able to get through.
Can you do something? maybe move my account to anothet server?
Thank you
