Hard Drive Failure
Sorry, everyone. We had one of the main database drives fail over the weekend. The first drive we thought we were going to replace it with is also having problems. The second problem may be compatibility or something. We've got someone working on it right now, and hope to have it resolved within hours.

Hopefully, the hardware issues have given you a little extra time to get out and do some holiday shopping or other useful stuffs. :)

I'll update this soon if there are any breaking developments.

	Woohoo! More info, finally. I can't wait to have my journal back up. Everybody read: hope to have it resolved within hours. Don't open up any more reports about it, and close them if you already have. Just sit and wait patiently. Or go outside and pick some flowers or something. Peace. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I forgot to mention a couple things in my original post. 1) All data is backed up nightly, so except for a few stray things that might have got eaten during the actual crash, all journal entries, comments, etc. should be safe. 2) We blame Bertho for all hardware problems - not because he's actually responsible, but because we think it's fun to do so. :) 3) Blurty doesn't use Windows.

	I'm just wondering, is this possibly the reason why it says "a server upgrade is in process" when I try to log on to the blurty website using AOL? It works fine using Internet Explorer. Is this all related to the database problem? (Reply to this) (Thread)
