MAINTENANCE: DeeperBlue.net Server

[Stephan Whelan]

Just so that everyone knows - we've got some hardware failure on the server at the moment. I'm working to correct it with our hosting provider but it will involve a couple of 2 hour windows of "downtime" on the server.

Hopefully we can get everything sorted quickly but bear in mind that the server may be down for short periods in the next few days.

Just out of interest; what kind of hardware is deeperblue running on these days? I'm curious...

Jorg,

Funnily enough - not very much:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3.0
Single AMD Athlon MP 2800+ 2.13 GHz in Dual MB
2 GB RAM
40 GB IDE HDD

However we have suffered some HDD failures over the past few years so we are going to a more redundant system in the next few weeks:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4.0
Single AMD Opteron 246 Processor
2GB RAM
2x 73GB SCSI RAID 1

No indead not that much, but if it works it works....

OK folks.

Apologies for the significant downtime over the past 24 hours. We've replaced all the hardware and systems are back to normal.

There may be a small number of posts from today that may have gone missing on the forums - our apologies - this was due to the forums being reopened before the databases had been migrated.
