FYI - Hard disk problems on our main server

[delroth]

Hey,

We're having hard disk related issues on overlord.dolphin-emu.org, the server handling most of our build infrastructure and downloads.

The websites are not impacted, but builds cannot be downloaded. I put one build online on dolphin-emu.org as an emergency solution.

Thanks for your understanding,

You have my deepest condolences.

Well, if we were hosted at a decent (read: not cheap) place, we'd have disk hotplug support and fixing this issue would have been unnoticeable.

Unfortunately, Hetzner is cheap and does not have hotplug. Reboot required for changing hard disks, causing user-visible outage.

I was wondering the about the lack of builds, thanks for the update :p

Server is up again but the disk has not been replaced by Hetzner because they want to make sure it's faulty. Running extended SMART self tests at the moment + RAID resyncing, nothing should be happening in the next 12h.

It might be the case that this was a software only issue - though the symptoms really look like faulty disks to me.
