Server Zed FSCK

[AndrewGlow]

Hello,

We had to reboot server Zed because of lost connection. Right now it is running file system check utility (FSCK). We will update this thread right after server is back online.

Unfortunately ETA for FSCK can't be given, because it depends on many factors and system doesn't provide ETA.

[AndrewGlow]

Server is up and running.

[GlowSteve]

Hello,

I apologize for delay with our reply. Server Zed will be going down shortly for scheduled drive replacement. We will update this thread as soon as it is back online.

[GlowSteve]

Hello,


Drive has been replaced. OS installed and Cpanel installed. The accounts are currently restoring from the back up drive.

[andreadoria]

Are the backups fresh or will there be rollback ?

[GlowAlex]

The accounts are still being restored and about a half is done now.

[GlowAlex]

Restore is still going it is about 65% complete.

How come there is no redundancy in place to avoid outages?

Redundancy costs money. you cant expect an inexpensive simple hosting solution from ANYONE to INCLUDE redundancy, though Glow has redundancy in their RAID drives, which is more than most can say.
If you NEED redundancy, then you can do what I did, and get a couple dedicated servers, buy the redundancy software, and put in in. You cannot expect that to be automatically included.

On the other hand, you can look at Glows 'cloud' hosting options because that is designed to be redundant.

Glow is promising a certain percentage of uptime, and I am SURE that is being honored.
