Wed Sep 19 18:42:35 PDT 2001 — Timber, our public MySQL server and weblog processing box has experienced a catastrophic RAID failure. We had scheduled maintenance tonight to replace the degraded array with an NFS export on the NetApps but, the RAID decided to fail altogether before it was obsolete. We are working to bring the server back online now. Once the server is back online we will be able to assess the damage to the MySQL databases which we hope can be restored and migrated to the NetApps as planned. At this moment we are not sure how long it will take to restore public SQL services. – Kelsey, Russ, Scott and Matt
