Back on the internet :)
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2003 6:24 pmAfter beeing "offline" for about 20h from the we are now back up again. Hopefully the stream will have kept streaming on the backup server we have running, but the main website and gridbot have been offline during this downtime.
What cause the downtime? It was a broken switch at the mainnode that had hung and thus caused massive packetloss as well as overloaded network fabrics. In reality this caused that only a handful packets went thru to our server and thus it would have appeared as dead. They have now upgraded the switch with new firmware which should prevent it from hanging again.
