The entire data center (where our servers are) had to be shut down. That crisis is now over and we're carefully bringing our servers back up. See details here. |

Thank you for the updates. The best news is that no one was injured. The machines will be back when they are good and ready. |

Work is available now, just not much, or very often. If you've got further questions, I'd suggest the Number Crunching forum. This one is for project news. Grant Darwin NT |

I echo the sentiment that I'm glad nobody was hurt. It would be nice to know that there is a backup of the database somewhere. |

Glad no one was hurt...equipment can be repaired/replaced. Time is relative. Patients is a virtue. I'm sure things will be back up and running shortly. |

^ That is some insanity! Yes, good no one hurt in the fire. Did they have an automatic CO2 system that put out the fire? I hope you get to the root cause and all.... |

Here is a photo of the machine reportedly responsible. Ouch! And this, children, is why we make backups and snapshots frequently and regularly! Glad to see it was just a server and didn't spread to people. Whoever's server that is though, they must be a bit miffed! ~W |

Here is a photo of the machine reportedly responsible. WOW!! I love the smell of burning electronics in the morning! Did we all over tax the server or was there an outside influence (Men in Black ;) .) Yep Woodgie ! The 3 basic rules of computing:- Backup,Backup,BACKUP! |

I used to make backups of a UNIX box called ONYX in 1981-1985. I made incremental backups on a tape unit of 10 MB while the system disk was 20 MB so I had to use two tapes and the Berkeley UNIX commands "dump" and "restore". Hards disk, then called "Winchester" broke very easily. Tullio |

wondering what humanoids trying to close your servers? Горы, нет ничего лучше гор. :) Mountains, there is nothing better than mountains. :) Life is good when you live without haste! )) |
