Hardware failure
Monday, July 16. 2007
The server that's running the MobMap website (among others) suffered from a hardware failure 6 hours ago. The harddisk where the main MySQL database files were stored just stopped working. Fortunately that harddisk decided to break down right half an hour after a regular backup snapshot was taken, so the amount of data loss is minimal.
I restored the backup and brought the server back online, everything should be working smoothly again. But if you tried to download a database update during the last 6 hours you might have gotten a corrupt version (if you were able to get anything at all), so I suggest you to run that download again now.
