CTO: Hivestor appears to be failing

Hivestor appears to be getting less and less stable.
I’ve had to reboot the machine from it being locked up several times.
I’ve had to power it back up again after it mysteriously powered down several times.
I will be refreshing or replacing hivestor ASAP.

******* IF YOU HAVE DATA ON HIVESTOR THAT YOU CARE ABOUT GET IT OFF ASAP ************

As of Monday 1/22/13, Hivestor may be erased, reformatted, refactored, reconfigured, etc. with NO WARNING.

thanks,
-Dave B.
CTO

What machine is Hivestor?

The main public fileserver.

And if you need more time than the 10 days I’ve thrown out there, just contact me. I’m not looking to erase anyone’s stuff but I need to set some kind of a concrete deadline so I can move forwards.
-D

It’s the file server, a black tower somewhere in the rack. The board in it was old as hell when it was installed in 2009. I’m surprised it lived for as long as it did.

Ah, I have stuff on the laser machine and haven’t had time to come down and clean it off!
