All disk are complete crap! Two years ago was a whole different story. That was what a friend (who knows his things very well) told me. After six mounts they are all dead, Which reminds me that i have to by second one and build raid1 also:) Probably web server crash a day ago was caused by that also...Just sharing thoughts...Thank you very much for your immediate and adequate actions!
Yes. I'm starting to hate disks. Second time since I started BitMinter that a disk dies. Hopefully the new disk will go in tomorrow. Hoping for something like a 5 minute downtime. Until then, let's mint some coins.  |

Hey Doc, Thanks for the heads up. I know backup pool functionality has been on your list for a while, but I was wondering if it would also be possible to add in solo mining as a backup option for if the pool goes down. |

Certainly. That's also coming. |

Technically it's the same thing. You just have to set 127.0.0.1:8332 as a backup server with a local bitcoind running as a server. |

Yep, I wrote on twitter that the server is going on but forgot to write it here.
It is indeed the announced downtime to replace a hard drive. Hope the server comes back to life soon. *tap foot*

Hehe. 5 minutes = how long I thought changing a disk on a server takes. Almost 1 hour and counting = how long it actually takes?  |

Nice customer support by Hetzner. Yesterday I made an appointment to get the disk replaced at 18:00 CEST and sent them all info they need. They confirmed. Today I send emails and get no reply. On phone is endless waiting with music. Finally I get an email at 19:55 saying it was not possible to change the disk at the appointed time. Please make a new appointment. Sorry, guys, I try to always keep the pool up, but this was out of my control. Trying to now get the damn server back up again. All this downtime for nothing. |

I announced it the day before here and on twitter, and wrote same places when it went down (a few minutes late here, though). I know 1 day notice isn't long, but I don't like running a degraded raid-1 array longer than necessary. I also thought changing a disk is quick. I know it is when I do it myself. so, will it automatically connect when everything is up? I guess at times like this its good to have a backup, lol...

Thanks. Yeah, the website is up and the mining pool backend will be up in a second (bitcoind being slow to start up). |

Hum, I just had a drive failure last week, they replaced it with a drive with 63 reallocated sectors and it failed yesterday. Today they removed the remaining good drive, leaving the faulty one in place ! I was quite satisfied until last week: something changed and it's not for the better. |

Everything is up and running again as normal. New appointment to change the disk is 14.09.2012 at 12 CEST. That's friday at 10:00 UTC. BitMinter will disappear a moment before that and I hope this time will not be gone for so long, and hopefully have a new disk when it boots back up.

Oh. My. God. I'm starting to understand why they are so much cheaper than everyone else. |
