/int/ - certified time wasters

Good evening dear sirs, EC and Radio Ernstiwan are back online. Reason for the downtime was - as already suspected - a damaged storage volume at our providers' site. The following happened: Wednesday at about 08:00UTC both chan and radio (which run on different servers, but are hosted by the same provider) went offline, even admin access was impossible. In the late evening I at least could see the servers as online in the VNC console, which can be opened from the admin area of our providers' web page, but all services and SSH access were still offline. The logs on both servers showed complaints about a corrupt file system with the hint to fix it via fsck. I waited until now whether our provider would react to the incident ticket I opened, which he didn't. So I tried the fsck fix, and it worked. I hope the 36 hours without EC weren't too painful.

Of course this is just a cover-up-story, the truth is it was a CABBAGE ATTACK!!!111 THOSE MONSTERS, HOW DARE THEY???
