17 Jan 09 - 02:03 AM (#2541034) Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update - Jan 17 From: Rasener Max I notice (on my machine at least) that the Age 3 days option stays on that when you refresh the website. That didn't used to happen. Is that something you have done to enable catters to see the threads, or is that something new? Normally, if you change it to 3 days, the next time you refresh, it goes back to 1 day. Les |

17 Jan 09 - 02:05 AM (#2541035) Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update - Jan 17 From: Max I set it temporarily to 3 days because 1 day was empty. I'll change it back tomorrow. |

17 Jan 09 - 03:07 AM (#2541045) Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update - Jan 17 From: McGrath of Harlow A good idea - there always seem to be some people who haven't picked up on the existence of the three day option, and get floored by the absence of threads when the Cat has been down a couple of days. |

I was surprised by your passing message on Facebook that it was a RAID failure, because I always thought that the point about RAID was its redundancy - but compared to your expertise I still ahve a llot to learn. |

I also tried the Wayback machine to see if I could access cached pages of Mudcat, but it keeps failing due to operation time out. Thanks Max and best wishes on the new job. |

17 Jan 09 - 10:23 AM (#2541296) Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update - Jan 17 From: Max Richard, yes raid is supposed to be fault tollerant. It saved the data which is the primary importance and the hard drive was in great condition. The problem was the actual raid card died. But because of the raid, I was able to pop the drive into another machine and here we are. The challenge was being 200 miles away from it all. |
