Aardwolf down for twelve hours (and counting). Follow Aardwolf on Facebook for updates and status when it becomes available. Here are some of the highlights:
Status update from four hours ago: First real downtime in years - Aardwolf was down most of the night with a server failure. Softlayer are looking into it now. We're on it...
Comments since:
*** You can always hang out on the test port temporarily - it's on a different server (for exactly this reason), aardmud.net 6555
*** It appears that primary hard drive in this server is failing and will require replacement. It seems that /var, /home and /usr all have filesystems that are not fully accessible due to bad blocks within their allocated space. We believe that... your only option in this case is to attempt to recovery from backups. Would you like for us to move forward with the disk replacement and OS Reload immediately? Thank you, Davy S., SoftLayer CSA
I'm going to go do something else for a couple of hours :( Expect a rollback.
*** We've been down 12 hours and counting. Doubles will be on for as many hours as we're down so there's a chance to make back some of that imaginary 50k.
*** Nothing I can do until SL turn over the server to us, so I'm frustrated too. Would love a chance to be able to hurry :)
