Saint did it again!This weekend our techteam will be spending its time in the datacenter upgrading our main server with 4 new hard drives for a RAID0+1 setup. The current disk is quite buggy and so we want to replace it before it's too late. The RAID system will ensure that we'll have always a backup ready in case of a single disk crash. As all the data gets mirrored the other disks will ensure no performance lost because the data gets stripped too. This is the magic of RAID0+1. :)
The replacement requires a complete re-install of the OS and all systems and services running on it. This means that the following servers/services will not, or partly be availible during the weekend;
- Website
- Forums
- sBNCs
- Mumble
- SpA points / Reserved slots / Spray paint permissions etc.
- Admin rights
- Fast ingame downloads
- MOTD on the TF2 / L4D servers
- Psychostats (website + ingame)
- specialattack.net email accounts
- ctf_bball server #1
- Private L4D servers (8x)
The following servers will be available (with the limitations above):
- All normal TF2 servers
- ctf_bball server #2 and #3
- Public L4D servers (32x)
So please excuse the downtime. We'll be online with all our services asap if Saint doesn't brake anything again.
Update: The downtime yesterday (15th January) was not due to the maintenance. The soon-to-be-replaced harddisk doesn't want to be replaced and so died in a diskcrash. Therefore all webservices were down untill we fixed that issue in the evening. Now everything should work as usual, but the webservices will go down on the weekend again for the regular maintenance.
