Drive Replacement

[Andrew Harris]

Hello,

This morning I had a drive replaced on the server since it was showing some bad sectors. The RAID array is now in a state of rebuilding, this may lead to a small impact on certain operations with the ATXHS site due to the I/O.

If it causes any major issues, ping me and I'll look into mitigating it somehow. I might configure our mediawiki instance to use memcached.

Those of you who have root: don't restart MySQL until the rebuild's done. Precious caches, we needses them.

The array is halfway rebuilt.

Sites seem fine at the moment, but I'm keeping an eye on everything to make sure that the box isn't on fire. At this rate, I guess it'll probably be like 8pm until it's done.

Done!
