Planned downtime: Harddrive replacement (yet again!)

[loftar]

btw. thah means server will run tomorrow?

In all likelihood.

Those wisps of noises on the wind aren't just nonsense if you listen closely you can hear "World 7, World 7, World 7" You open the hard drive casing and discover inside that the platters have become oxidized like they were exposed to ocean spray for hundreds of years evoking images of the broken and battered remains of ships past that wash ashore. Flotsam, you think. Nothing is making sense anymore. World 6 is slowly fading into the horizon, as World 7 struggles to be born.

But World 6 is no peaceful world, it does not
fade, but fight for it's survival... just as World
7 wishes to be born, so does world 6 to live on.
If ocean spray can wash away all that World 6
is, then boats have no power over water, nor
hearthlings or worlds. If water is the one true
evil that bites at our ankles, threatening to
swallow us whole, then how have i passed
through water with ease and used it to my
own advantage? Are hearthlings the harbingers
of end time if we all consume water and thrive
on it?

If ocean spray can wash away every last day
you've ever played... we are truly no more than
flotsams, valued more than what they were
before the waters touched them, and always
reminiscent of the power that engulfed our
beings and gave us new life.

Temporary as it may be.

Once more; Do not spam announcement threads.
Demanding World 7 is considered off topic.

I hope the sever comes up soon

You should note, however, that the new drive will need RAID resynchronization, which usually takes about 10 hours or so, before I can restart the server. So don't hold your breath until it's up again.

Wait, Wait, Don't you see if some hold their breath then that might clean up the gene pool a little bit. IJS Thanks for the update sad that the game is down but hopefully it will get fixed proper this time.

What sort of hard drive does the server use? Can I be provided a link to the exact hardware? Three failures are rather unlucky and I would like to help you pay for one.

Loftar, please keep us up-to-date.

Puma - there's a Donate Button... give lots so they maybe even can upgrade to get a SSD for external Journal Log... think it's about 30 Euro monthly

There are no special Informations about Brand or Modelnumber of Sata/SaS Harddisk at Hetzners webpage - the Server is located in Germany and Loftar is in Sweden - but maybe he can ask for that Information (even if i don't think it helps in anyway) ...

30 Euro it is, then.

Oh, don't worry about that. Hetzner replaces them for free, even.

Loftar, please keep us up-to-date.

I've updated the OP.
