New IP address for mirrors.dotsrc.org

 Posted on 2008-08-11  |  

We have migrated our mirror service (http://mirrors.dotsrc.org / ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org) to a new, faster and more spacious server. Thus the IP address of the service has changed to 130.225.254.116. If you have ACLs in place you should update them to reflect this IP change. In the not so distant future we will add more mirrors since we now have more space on the server. We will post news about this here. [Read More]

Power supply failure

 Posted on 2008-06-06  |  

The power supply in one of our servers failed in the early hours of Thursday. A new power supply is on its way and we expect the server to be running early next week.

The affected services are:
  • Mailing lists
  • CVS
  • Project web pages and project FTP

Server running again

 Posted on 2007-11-05  |  

The server crash from this weekend has now been fixed and we're running again. The problem was a full file system.

System work next weekend

 Posted on 2007-11-05  |  

Because of an overhaul of large parts of our systems some outages is expected at random points in time (sorry, can't be more specific about this).

On the good side of things - after the weekend we should end up with some nicer systems :)

Server crash

 Posted on 2007-11-03  |  

One of our servers have crashed. This means that the following services are currently unavailable: project mailinglists, project websites and project cvs. We are working on fixing this issue as soon as possible but unfortunately it will probably take a couple of days. We are very sorry about this downtime and want you to know that we are doing everything in our power to improve on the situation. [Read More]

Server Recovered

 Posted on 2007-09-15  |  

Finally we got the last bits restored from tape. All services are online again, but in case of problems please report to staff@dotsrc.org, then we will fix them asap. Also please check your CVS repositories, the lastest commits before the crash might not have made it to our backup. You will have to recommit. The same goes for mail, any mail that hasn't come through yet, needs to be resent. [Read More]

Server Recovery Progressing

 Posted on 2007-09-13  |  

The recovery of the crashed server is now nicely on its way. As a starter mail and mailinglists are now working again. We have quite a number of mails in the queue on our mailgateway which are now under delivery. Some mails have been temporarily rejected. These mails should start flowing in within the next day. CVS and project web sites are also on their way. More info later. [Read More]

Server Breakdown Update #3

 Posted on 2007-09-12  |  

Unfortunately we've had a poweroutage which didn't affect our servers but it affected the backup systems which are in another building. This means that the data restore on the crashed disk array will be a bit more delayed.

We will post updates as we get more news about this.

Server Breakdown Update #2

 Posted on 2007-09-11  |  

It is taking longer than expected to restore the data on the server. This is a combination of old hardware and a slow restore process.

Short story, no mail or cvs service today. We will keep you updated.

Server Breakdown Update

 Posted on 2007-09-10  |  

Earlier today we managed (with help from KOM CWS) to get the failed server in a running state. Unfortunately one of the disk arrays had failed seriously, which means that data needs to be restored from backup. This will take some time, but with a bit of luck, we might be running again tomorrow (tuesday). Please check back here for updates.
