Alstertheonly Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 It's not fair, that's for sure, but on the other hand they will benefit from the format of the disk as all the down time they have right now is much worse then the re-format of the disk... I think this could go a bit wrong. Say you have a forum and you forget to back it up then that means all your member data goes bye bye. But then again this downtime is annoying...

I have to agree, though this may not seem right and everyone has to sign back up even, It will get rid of a lot of people who just forgot about their webhosting accounts here. The more downtime, the more people aren't going to wait because of their impatience, and if this will work... have at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 OK, I've spent the last two days on the phone with a datacenter tech while we tried to fix possible filesystem issues. The stability issues might be gone now, but we're not sure. I'm monitoring the system right now to see if load starts spiking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall last time we had crashes it was because some idiot abused his/her cron jobs. Could it be one user hogging resources in some way again?

Ashoat Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 No, that couldn't be it. Trust me: if it was that simple I would have figured it long ago This issue is either something hardware-based or something really crazy with the kernel.

raccess Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The site has been down a lot recently. I think our little hacker friend is still trying. Stupid hacker won't give up. I wouldn't care if my site was hacked, because if you have a local backup of everything, you can simply put it all back into the server. Although I wouldn't prefer to be hacked.

JcX Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm sure he didn't Now I'm just hoping Helio will gets stabler because I'm having quite a hard time to let people download some files from my hosted site (not mp3, videos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Just as I finish moving all my files to another server, Heliohost comes back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n747mm Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sounds like everything should be back up, but my site at n747mm.heliohost.org still isn't responding, I can't log in to cpanel, and had to get a password reset so I could log in to write this post!

Golden Tiger Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Glad to see you back again! My account has an inaccessible cPanel... just thought I would let you know. Sorry for the inconvenience! The filesystem mounted at / on this server is running out of disk space. cPanel operations have been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sungazer Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It seems to me like the work djbob's been putting in has made stability a lot better. Thanks for all your hard work djbob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformatting the disk without backing up people's data is not an acceptable option. Whilst we all know that it's our responsibility to keep backups of our own data, we do assume that the site admins are not going to wipe our accounts deliberately. It's certainly wouldn't do any good to Heliohost's reputation in the long term. Djbob aims to provide a professional level of hosting for free and this isn't what you'd expect of a professional host. If the drive is wiped, we'd need a month's notice, with a message on cPanel. Users are required to sign in every month to keep their account, so that's the only way to ensure that everyone knows (at least, everyone who can legitimately expect to keep their account). Sorry, I didn't notice the last page of this thread. Very stupid. Still, I was unable to post this reply for a while, just getting 500s. Seems to be happening quite a lot on my site too at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Users are required to sign in every month to keep their account,Currently every three months actually, but I'm thinking that I should decrease that term anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
