OK, Database Server 5 is back online. I am still looking into it and will update here later.

Massive SNAFU! I can't apologise enough but it was not on my end.

The old drive stored the EFI and that is required to boot the server. The person that did the disk replacement didn't know that (EFI cannot be on the RAID), so they were hours attempting to reboot the server without EFI, until they gave up and handed me the broken server.

Now, an attempt will be made to place the old drive back and see if the server boots like that and then I can fix the situation.

There is a problem with the disk replacement that is causing the server not to boot. They are trying to understand what could be causing the problem.

I am really sorry but it's something that I have no access to and will have to rely on the information I am provided, causing me to provide timings and have expectations that are inaccurate.

I'm contacting everyone I can to obtain more informations and ways to speed up the process.

The intervention in Database server 5 is about to start.

One of the RAID disks in the database server 5 failed and it needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

I requested the replacement and expect it to be done in the next couple of hours. This requires the server to go offline but it should take less than an hour.

I will update here once the intervention starts/finishes.

Only instances using the Database 5 will be impacted (see the database server in your Masto.host account).

Sorry for the inconvenience. This week servers decided to act up :|

マスコどんは緊急時連絡用アカウントの存在を歓迎しないらしいので、別のサーバーに移そうと思います。既にあるアカウントのうち mstdn.jp と Pawoo は…運営をあまり信頼できない。そう考えたら Fedibird のアカウントが良さそう。

協力関係のサーバーを互いに冗長性として使うのは合理的だと思うので、もふけものに退避先を作っておくのは引き続き歓迎します。
