It happens. Once when our server that uploaded all the photos to the Internet, that my company processed, crashed due to a technician error, I spent 16 hours without a break rebuilding it with the systems engineers. That technician never made that mistake again! I fired myself. LOL! -- openSUSE 11.2x86_64 (Gnome 2.28.2) | AMD Athlon(tm) 64 3000+ | 2GB RAM

Even 10-15 minutes is a LONG time. I have no idea how they did it. > Ways I would do it. > 1) DNS changes.

I'd have a dedicated partition for the wiki - you know ... have /srv in its own partition. Stop Apache, then change the mount point (/srv) to the new partition, and start up Apache.

Matthew Ehle; "As some of you may know, we have hit a little snag with the wikis. One of the two primary web servers for www.opensuse.org, files.opensuse.org, and the wiki farm had a major hardware failure yesterday. After some discussion with the data center, we decided that it would be safer to keep that server out of the rotation, rather than attempt to fix and bring the server back online during the 11.3 release." http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-wiki/2010-07/msg00125.html -- Cheers Malcolm ��� (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.13-0.4-default up 3 days 21:39, 3 users, load average: 1.28, 0.43, 0.22 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 256.35 |
