Further downtime and the news server

For a few days we have had some unstability due to a faulty fibre connection at DeIC, however that whas resolved wednesday. But murphy is around. Our electrical installation failed thursday at 20:24 and dotsrc.org (except irc.dotsrc.org) was offline from then until friday at 13:30 where all services except news.dotsrc.org was brought online again. news.dotsrc.org will be brought online again monday but is unfortunately unavailable until monday. We are sorry for the poor uptime the past week and expect much better uptime in the time to come. [Read More]

Dotsrc offline

Due to an issue in the core of Danish E-infrastructure Cooperation (DeIC), formerly known as "Forskningsnet/Darenet" the services at dotsrc.org except irc.dotsrc.org which is hosted elsewhere, has unfortunately been offline from friday night until today this afternoon. The underlying problem has not been fully resolved yet, so some unstability may occur this evening. DeIC expects to have the issue resolved early Tuesday morning. We are sorry about any inconvenience this may have caused our users. [Read More]

Planned downtime

This evening we are moving some servers between two racks and installing some new hardware. This means that the mirror service will be offline for about 10 minutes.

Mirror server online again

The server was unfortunately down from 21:55 yesterday until 6:35 today. We apologize for any inconvenience.

New monitoring server

Today we have set up a new external Icinga monitoring server which can inform us of downtime via e-mails and sms's. This should enable us to notice downtime much faster and hence improve the uptime of our services.

New name servers

We changed name servers for our .dk domains a few days ago. In that transition we made an error, which was corrected again, but some users may experience problems reaching the services from dotsrc.org for a period of time because of negative caching. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Switch

Our main switch broke down today, resulting in our services to be unavailable from 8:25 to 11:15. The switch has been replaced and all services are available again.

Back online

We have moved away from a filesystem that was causing troubles, and are now back online and in sync on all primary mirror activities.

mirrors.dotsrc.org

Unfortunately mirrors.dotsrc.org has been down today from 20.53 until next morning 8.58. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Usenet server

We have received reportings about large delays in usenet postings. We are looking into the issue.
