*** FORUM AND SITE POSSIBLE DOWN TIME ***

[Jabba]

Due to an extra 400 GB Hard Disk being added to the JW server today, there will be a short down time between the hours of 6.00 PM and 10.00 PM GMT.

This will hopefully enable us to bring new features to JW in the near future as well as keeping all existing features running smoothly.

Cheers

Jabba

[TopGearNL]

Ok, well I Im to work shortly so expect the vid for the vault to be uploaded as soon as JW is running again! :wink:

Thanks for letting us know! :good:

[novass]

I think Jabba is lying. I think he is doing this just so TGNL and Dani can finally get some sleep in 2007. :wink: :lol:




What needs to be done needs to be done. Thanks for all you do Jabba and the rest of the team!

[Jabba]

I think its going to be less than 30 mins, I mean how long does it really take to add a new HD, so it will just be a quick nap then in that case.

[MIHALS]

I SHOULD DONATE to ease the expenses :D

thanx for letting us know Jab :D :wink:

[Mattk]

Ah, this is a small sacrifice for a worthy cause. Well, I won't be on JW during those hours anyway, so it doesn't affect my life as I know it. :P

[dutchmasterflex]

..and jabbasworld continues to grow 0X

[Erez]

I hope TT would survive :wink:

[Stoopie]

[Minacious]

Once the down time is over I say we all enter the Blue Oyster and spend some quality time with one another.

A good idea! :D :wink:

[sameerrao]

Isn't it amazing that we had our website up and running for so long without any downtime. My company mail server crashes once a quarter or so. Or is it down for maintenance.

Even ferrarichat (which by the way is the only other forum that I visit frequently) is down a couple times a year with database issues.

Meanwhile JW chugs along merrily giving us our automotive/hobby fix. :)

Kudos to Jabba, Dan and IT team for doing a wonderful job.

Now if some of those combative political/religious/USA vs ROW or vice-versa topics reduced a bit somehow it would be perfect .. ;) :)

Noooo. . . right in the middle of Geneva?!?! ;)

I wonder what the system uptime is..

[MotorWorld]

step 1 is complete, the new drive is installed


Disk /dev/sdc: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes



later tonight I will partition it and copy the data over, and as I have to move some files that are necessary to make the site run there will be some more downtime

[Jabba]

Yeh they apparently installed it as scheduled (did anyone notice any down time ?) but it wasn't showing up, hence the extra downtime about an hour ago, but as Karma said, all is well now.

[dutchmasterflex]

Yea, I noticed it. To tell you tthe truth, I freaked out a bit :oops:

I thought network security might of blocked the site.. frantically tried to access the site via blackberry and didn't get a response so I figured the upgrade was finalizing.

Glad to hear everything went smoothly!

[Erez]

I've copied all the database etc to the new drive and restarted so we are now using that, so I think we're all good to go now :mrgreen:

[Mattk]

^Ah, so that's why it didn't work just then.

HUGE THANX Dan and Jabba for treating us like this :wink:

[Pimp Racer]

Thanks Karma and Jabba for your time and effort! 8)

I second that! Also if you dont mind me asking Karma or Jabba what is the total HDD space in the server?

[Jabba]

On its way to 1 TB or by the end of the year it will be, should the new feature work out as we hope it will.

[TopGearNL]

^^ Now how many boards can say that? :twisted:
