Outage

Yet another one of the Seagate drives just failed in Lucifer, and for reasons unknown it took the machine down with it. Thankfully it rebooted fine and we're now running again in a degraded state, with no apparent DB corruption so far.

It's events like this which make me long for Postgres 8 and WAL archiving.

3 drives in one machine? You might want to check out the RAID controller or motherboard for power lags, spikes, or other issues! Especially with the machine going down...

tangmonster, im always worried about the state of my drives, considering they could just die at any point and you'd be buggered.
So I installed a SMART monitoring program, which scared the bejesus out of me even more, cos it kept telling my drives were gonna fail in the next month ;)

Hmm, not too good. Heh, I don't really care about the drive I have atm (20 gig, old pc) as if it fails, I'll reckon I have an excuse to spend some cash on a new mac mini :)
