Due to a hard drive failure, one of my linux servers is currently offline.

Depending how smoothly things go, I may need to install a new disk and rebuild - just a matter of if I can repair the lost sectors... at this stage, fsck is failing and only mounting the disk in read only mode - see screenshots below.

I'll post more info as it emerges, but fret not, this isn't a permanent outage - just hardware failure.



After some fixing of the lost sectors, it appears there is major file damage, so it looks like this is at least going to require a full rebuild. See screenshots below - In the short term, I'm going to boot into a knoppix linux live CD, rescue as much data as I can, then rebuild using debian etch.. might take a night or two - in the meantime, get used to the errors in the left margin.

ah...
no good
that'll explain whey TS was not there when i just tried to connect.

I hope you're online soon, I'll join you on TS tonight if you get it back online.

Jump on msn if you get this message tonigt.
