Servers fscked during upgrade

My bad.

Tried to take us from Ubuntu Jaunty to Ubuntu Karmic, and this worked... except the hosting company host machines don't support the Karmic kernel so none of the servers came to life after the upgrade.

Unfortunately this mornings backup was still in progress when I upgraded. It should have been completed but there's a backlog at the host... end result: The daily backup was corrupt.

So I've had to fall back upon the weekly backup, which was taken around 8am last Sunday (25th October). And I've restored all of the servers from that point in time.

So... what's happened?
1. Upgrade trashed servers
2. Daily backup was corrupt so useless
3. I applied the weekly backup
4. We've lost 5 days worth of everything

And that is where we are.

Did you say anything interesting in the last 5 days? If so, say it again.

Did you register in the last 5 days and now are wondering why you're blocked? You're not... you just don't exist, please do register again.


Huge apologies for this. I wasn't thorough enough. I did check that the backups were done, but only checked 2 out of the 3 servers and the most important one was the one I missed.

I've made a note, all future upgrades happen on Monday so that should things go nuts I only ever have to rollback 1 day at worst, 1 hour at best.

A highly traumatic experience.

I'll be accepting alcohol sedation tomorrow night at RPM should anyone feel for the experience.

I feel positively wired and fused now.

You know that only Oliver has to think about this question. I imagine the "SE beer poll" is much like the Afghani election.

Life's not so bad if this sort of thing happens once in a while. Keeps us on our toes.

The sun will still rise tomorrow and the world will keep turning. Praise be.

For the record, I have no clue as to what any of your scribe means. All I know is that it sounds complicated enough to be believable.

Shame, that was a minor classic.

just think what we could do with this chance. we could stop the flaming, we could stop the bitchiness, we could stop laughing at poor builds, at poor comments, we could stop with the reposts, we may never need to post the dancing girls again. or the mummy.
