Hi, Savannah is up and running again after about 2 days 1/2 downtime.
The system was completely restored using the backup from Sunday night, and a partial backup from Monday night (Boston time). We still have concerns about the RAID hardware (3 old + 1 new SCSI disks failed); we're going to order more parts and replace them asap. We'll post more info on the Savannah homepage in a bit. Thanks to everybody among the FSF Sysadmins and the Savannah Hackers who stayed up late working on the recovery! -- Sylvain On Thu, Mar 15, 2007 at 12:00:05AM +0100, Sylvain Beucler wrote: > Hi, > > The server for savannah.gnu.org has experienced a multiple disk > failure, bypassing the RAID5 safety.
