gator461 :: emergency fsck

[GatorFord]

We are performing an emergency fsck of the /home partition on our shared server gator461. Some services will be offline while this occurs and we will put this back online as soon as this is completed.

I'll keep you updated in this forum post.

The fsck is currently at 30% at this time. I'll keep this updated with further progress. Thank you.

This is at 53.3% now. I do apologize about the amount of time this is taking, the partition is quite large.

We are having some issues with this fsck completing. All data still appears to be intact but this is taking longer than expected. We will keep this updated as often as possible.

The fsck is at 90% at this time. We hope that this will be completed shortly.

During the fsck completion, a large number of files are being copied to lost+found. At this time we have decided that it will be best to do a full swap on this server which will upgrade the processing power, memory, and disk space. We are working with our data center to complete this ASAP. We are in the process of copying all data from the current server to the new server.

Because of the file system issues on /home, we are forced to restore our weekly backup of /home onto the new server. This will only affect users home directories and not databases. Once we have the servers fully swapped, we will continue to work on recovering as much data as possible.
