Server Status: Up

Server Notes
I've finished the maintenence on the partition and here's the list of casualties:

  • My stored archive of the QPopper program
  • My Trash mailbox (Ohh... How sad that it had to be deleted)
  • and finally, Spoon's IMAP data file.

Many thanks go to Spoony! for bringing the issues to my attention rather than just blowing it off and casually remarking later "Oh ya, and my mail's broken" as this problem would have been much worse if more of the damaged regions of the disk been in use. But by acting quickly we've averted further issues by marking all of the bad areas on the disk before they can be used.


The one thing I'm very glad of is the fact that I chose to partition the drive out into groups since I was able to just unmount the bad partition, fix it, and re-up it without having to take the server down as a whole. I'll have to remember to do that more often ^.^;

Motoko is having bad block problems on her /home partition. As such, I've unmounted it and am currently in the process of doing a complete device scan of it. However, this means that the drive I installed is bad and needs to be replaced. I'm not sure when doing that will become feasable so we'll have to see.
