Frans completed his rescue operation yesterday, and the databases are back online
here, restoring our lost functionality, for which he cannot be thanked enough.
The "share" links were broken for a bit after the restore, but they have been
fixed and work properly once again, and as far as we know, everything is
operating
as intended, so if you notice something amiss, please drop a note to let us
know. There were questions about why this caused so much downtime, and the main
culprit was that the notes from the last time the site was restored from backup
were lost along the way, so Frans had to piece together how to reinstall and
configure all the software we use, which complicated things greatly. The
procedure has been recorded again, so this should not be the same issue going
forward, though obviously we hope it won't come to that. There isn't as good an
explanation for why we weren't running on a more fail-safe setup, but the good
news is that this has been addressed, as the RAID 1 array we are now using
should be inherently more capable of surviving problems. So one
last time, thanks to Frans for being the man, and thanks to all of you for
hanging in there while everything got worked out.
