Club Cobra is back online. Another HD down.
Well, it turns out there was another HD failure. This time it was one of the boot disks. Used the spare drive I bought last time around, reinstalled the OS and all of the necessary software to get the site back up and running, and here we are.
Lesson. I think I'm done purchasing 15k rpm HD's. Fast, but they don't seem to be so reliable. Anyways, it's been a lot of late nights lately, and I hope we're through the storm. Next plan is to buy replacement drives all around to put off some of the troubles we've been seeing. Sorry for the inconvenience folks. |
Doggone it, and I was starting to enjoy the porn spammers.
Thanks buddy... ;) |
Jamo: And the complainers?

Drives were probably made in China!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be sorry. Even as a new comer I really appreciate your efforts.
Thank you. |
Hey Brent,
Maybe you can do some background on the product-supplier and failure rates of the 15k drives you are using before ruling them out by speed in general. We run 10+ Terabyte sized databases in my line of systems work, approching 50TB over the next few years, all on 15K mirrored drives with low failure rates. They do fail but no more than 10k, and we did find a much higher failure rate on lower grade (cheaper) Tier2 disk subystems vs. Tier1 grade stuff. Good Luck on it, and thanks again for all of the hard work you guys all put into the ClubCobra site. DC |
Seagate drives. There's 8 drives stuffed in there, so it could be heat related....though there is good airflow I thought.
|
Brent- Thanks for all your hard work. The silent majority out here really appreciates all the work that goes on in the background.

Brent - thank you for all your hard work. Club Cobra means alot to a great many people, and your efforts to keep everything going are greatly appreciated :3DSMILE: :3DSMILE:

Thanks Brent for your hard work. There was an article in PC world some time back about hard drives and their failure rates. Some seemed to have high ones and others went for long times, but they will eventually fail. That is why everything in the ESS computers for the telephone companies is backed up with two processors and two complete sets of memory and storage. If one crashes the other comes on line and runs everything until the bad one can be repaired. But that is a very expensive option and one that only major companies would likely use. Ron :) |
:) Good work Brent

As in the past, thank you for all the work that is done to keep this site available to us all!

Thank you for continuous effort to keep this great site up and running.
My day isn't complete without looking at the CLUB COBRA site Again thank you. John |
Brent,
Thanks for getting CC back up. I know it is a lot of work taking care of this site and the server. You do one he!! of a job, we all enjoy it and are pretty much lost when it is not running (though that is not very often). Terry |
Thanks again for your efforts
|
Brent..
Again thanks for your hard work. Any possibility you can run a raid or mirror configuration? Mike |
Brent, you da man!
And to think all this time we thought CC just magically appeared out of the nebulous cloud that is the Internet?!? Like anything else in life, it takes REAL WORK to get results. -Dean |

Two weeks ago, one of the 6 other drives failed intermittently (raid 5), which just caused the array to fall over and then I would have to reactivate the array, which doesn't work for keeping a site up without babysitting it 24/7. Just bad luck I guess. :( |
Since you said "fixmbr", I'll assume this is a Windows box. If you have the boot drives mirrored in Windows (vs. using the disk controller), there are a couple little "gotchas". The best thing to do is test it right after you load the OS and get it mirrored (by unplugging the primary drive and trying to boot).
Here's a Microsoft KB article that might help. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167045 Also, you need a boot.ini that points to the secondary drive. This can be done with a floppy boot disk. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311073/en-us HTH, Rob |
