CompSoc downtime
Monday, October 15th, 2007So, for the past few days CompSoc has been squarely offline.
Why?
noisy, the main server, went down following what we believe to be a motherboard failure.
Our temporary solution has been to move the data disks from noisy to the (very) old server, tall. As you can see, things are up and running again, mail is being delivered (slowly) by bump.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be looking into replacing some hardware and buying new hardware to help prevent this happening again… that said, on a budget it won’t be easy—short of a cluster there really was little we could have done better.
