Possible downtime this weekend
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 8:37 am
Morning guys,
I noticed yesterday that site was sluggish and unresponsive a few times that I tried to access it from work, and it was totally unavailable for an hour or so in the evening, even though the server was running.
Upon further investigation I found that something is causing the machine to reboot every 24 hours or so, and also crash with hardware errors. At this moment in time I'm not 100% sure what's doing it, could just be a dodgy driver or similar, but I'll need to take the machine offline at some point over the weekend to properly investigate the cause, and put a stop to it.
In light of this, there's likely to be a couple of hours of intermittet availability, but I'll try and minimise it as much as possible.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Ciarán
