Emergency maintenance

Tue 11 August 4:40PM Hetzner has informed us that the RAID alarm is currently sounding, and that KEATS needs to be switched off in order to diagnose and fix the problem.

5:28PM Keats is being shutdown now

10:36PM Hetzner says that the server is “fixed”. Unfortunately, it won’t boot. I am therefore going to reinstall the server, and then restore all hosting accounts from backup. Please accept my sincere apologies for this. I will work through the night and tomorrow to get all sites up as soon as possible.

 

2AM Wed 12 August OS has been rebuilt, cPanel and Cloudlinux have been installed. Restoration of hosting accounts is starting now.

4:30AM All accounts have been restored from backup.
