Game is currently down. Went down around 130am, and came back up briefly. It went down again around 2am, and has been down since. AP has been notified and if anything comes up I will post any additional information as needed.

where is this hosted? It seems like there are a lot of outages--has there been any discussion about moving this to Amazon or something similar?

I think it's hosted locally. And the server had some bad disks. Now it's being taken care of. Great work AP

The good news is i can fix this, the bad news is it will take me a few hours. We had some serious drive errors on the filesystem. I am trying to repair but this is not an easy fix. I had no idea it was this bad. The good news is I had already planned to upgrade the drives, but, 1 of the 3 I purchased did not work. I have it coming overnight at a whopping 55$ for over night. I will get the game back up sometime tonight I hope, and once up. I will build the new drives, copy all the data over, and than I will flip the switch. Meaning I will have to copy the rent/player files over and go live. I am sorry this happened, i have no idea how i could prevent it at all. Maybe next time I wont purchase Hitachi drives. I will give up dates every hour on the hour. Starting with next update at 6pm EST. AP

update: I have managed to get the OS up but it has a ton of errors. I am doing a major full backup of Jedi right now. I do not know if I can save the OS itself at this point. I have been loading up the "live-cd" reparing Filesystem and it keeps hitting me with journal issues and forcing me to do it again. Luckily i was able to keep it long enough in the read/write state that i could start the backup.
I will continue to update as i move forward. At this point I think it may just be a waste of time now with all the errors I see. So long as I get this backup in, with last nights backup and night before. I should have everything i need to repair or possibly in this case rebuild.

The backup is still running, I am not having much hope at this point. I suspect the game will be backup around noon - 1pm EST. AS promised I will extend the quest, as well as, have a 2 hour HH once I bring it all back online.

where is this hosted? It seems like there are a lot of outages--has there been any discussion about moving this to Amazon or something similar? No, we would never do that. We have to many services that are hosted. We have email, websites, IRC, Databases. etc etc. I am just unfortunate that the drives I choose did not work as hoped. I have spent over $2K on our server and services. I am not very keen on handing it over when I front over a significant cost to host it. IT would cost us way more to move all those services out. I have invested again in much better drives to bring us back to full working capacity. I apologize if this is not up to your usual standard, but I did not have many issues for several years, until this year. Please bare with us. AP

I have yet to get the OS stable enough. i did save the entire server, and made a full TAR/GZIP of the entire JEDI directory. I have it all, so I will just call it a night. There is just no way this OS will stay stable enough for us to play without repercussions.
I stand by what i said earlier. I will try to have it back up by 12-1pm EST. I will extend the quest, and I will drop in a 2 hour HH. Enjoy your evening.
I want to at least bring my bday relaxing and not stressing.

I bow in the dust for you AP.... Not a lot of people would have spend all that money and energy in hosting a game like this.
Hope it will be less of a pain to get it up and running again.
And personally I hope you have had a nice bday AP.

Game is rebuilt. I am uploading the game now, next restore ISPconfig - (our server mgr). Than I will restore email, websites. We will take another 15 min down time sometime Tomorrow. That is so i can add our last hard drive. I have upgraded our resiliency to a RAID 10 + hot spare. I am anticipating a 1pm restart

Thanks for fixing the server for us, AP and admin :-)
Hope your bday was a good one AP. But from the looks of it, it appears as if it was a bit stressful!
Warm regards Tiaan

Finally. I think 30 more minutes to restore the websites, now that i have rsync and mysql running correctly.
Sorry for the longer than anticipated delay.
Anticipated game play 3:00pm EST.

Western Digital Reds work pretty well. Hitachi and Seagate are both irritating but at least Reds were designed for home NAS devices. :-)

went with WEstern Digital Black in Raid 10 + spare
Still waiting on the game to recompile. The websites are slowing it to a crawl as they restore.

We are finally back up. I had to restore the player files from 5 hours before the shutdown. The last full copy i had saved had to many corrupted players. You will have lost experience.
If anyone see's something odd, please let the admin know.
Enjoy!

Is it possible for those of us who have an addiction to JediMud and others interested, to have a green / red light on the Jedi homepage or somewhere on this page?
