| Hi,
We've experienced multiple hardware lockups in the last month and I've issued a request to Server4You to run a full hardware check (which takes about 4-6 hours) at midnight UK time (1 am CET) on the morning of Saturday the 21st
The site will be unavailable from midnight UK time (or 1 am CET) and until early in the morning for this reason.
We apologize for the inconvenience
Edit: So that went well...In the end, after multiple rounds of crashes it was discovered that CPU 2 had a level 1 cache error which was causing the server to lockup randomly, even in Recovery mode. After that was eventually fixed with a spare server (motherboard probably the culprit) the mirrored RAID was in a state which needed quite a bit of sorting.
It's taken me a bit of time after I managed to fix that to get the server booting again, different network card which needed different settings and some other minor variations which caused the server not fully boot to a ready state. Unfortunately I don't have console access to the server, just remote, so taking the server in and out of recovery mode and trying again is a slow and inefficient way to go about this, so I'm sorry for all the time this has taken. Let's hope we're back.
