every thing is 100% now from funio: Update Feb 16 06:30 EST Services have been back for about an hour and half now. s101 was completely replicated from the DRBD mirror on s102. This is the process that prompted us to bring both s101 and s102 offline, because it was crucial that this replication be done as quickly as possible. More detailed explanations for that were posted previously on the “Feb 14 19:30″ update. S101 is now replicating s102 as a low-priority background task, so some disk I/O will be taken by the system for maybe a couple days. Current estimates vary between 16 and 58 hours, depending on the load of either s101 or s102. Note that during this time everything should be working normally. The servers will gain some speed automatically once this process is completed. The new RAID card that was put in s101 should perform better than the previous one because it has roughly twice the processing power and 4 times the memory as the previous one. All of the hard drives were also replaced. While we were at it, we added 50% more RAM to s101. This extra memory will give us more room for performance enhancements in the future. We are truly sorry for the inconveniences all this might have caused. This is one of the reasons that prompted us to upgrade the hardware instead of just replacing the bad parts. The status has been put to yellow because we will actively monitor these two servers throughout the day to make sure everything works as expected. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. ==========
