rez.nuxx.net
Well, since installing the new power supply on Friday night I’ve taken rez.nuxx.net and wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS. I wanted to be sure that any potential disk corruption was completely gone, so I also completely rebuilt all the arrays.
Last night I reinstalled 5.4-RELEASE, build both world and a new kernel, slightly optimized and targeted to the CPUs. All seems to be running nicely. I’m able to sync the 18GB or so of website data to it with no problems, all seems good.
Tonight I’ll shove it back in the rack to test it headless, and hopefully get a bunch of the other needed things (apache2, mysql, etc) installed and locked down.
This makes me happy… Maybe I will actually get it to the colo around the first of the month. I would shoot for Friday, but I’m hoping to go out of town this weekend, so that wouldn’t be the best idea.
Oh, and remember, if I host you it’s your responsibility to understand when server outages will be. All this gets posted to my LJ… I hope I don’t sound too bitchy, but this is free hosting, and while I shoot for lots of uptime, I don’t guarantee it. I don’t anticipate any problems, but I prefer not to fight with people over what’s essentially a gift of free hosting.
As always you rock Steve – please let me know if you need anything. I’ve got tons of spare parts lying around and whats mine is yours. You’ve done a lot for me and its only fair.
Thank you. :)
Just know that I’m not looking for anything from anyone, nor do I anticipate any problems…
I’m just expecting a couple of sites I host to bitch if something changes, because they haven’t made an effort to keep on top of changes.
I know your not looking for anything. Doesn’t mean I can’t offer and be there if you need me. :)
