    ATAG Server#1 Maintenance. ***IMPORTANT***

    Hi all, I need to let everyone know that server #1 is going to be down today for some much needed maintenance. As is stands right now it looks like we've got some bad sectors on the hard drive that are causing issues. What were going to do is shut everything down and run a check disk, reboot and hope for the best, if things go well we should be good to go, if things go bad we'll need a new hard drive.


    The following won't be available during maintenance, ATAG server #1 CLOD, IL2 1946 HSFX and our TS3 server. I can't exactly how long it will be down, but I wouldn't expect it to go longer than four hours, so please spread the word, be patient and thanks again for being part of the ATAG community.

    Thanks for the heads up, Watchman. At least we know we don't have to ask JTDawg to drive to Chicago from Indiana to give the server a swift kick!

    Thanks Colander, for the post at 1C. The server is in chkdsk limbo at the moment so I won't know for awhile if things are okay. It's my feeling that the hard drive is probably trashed, basic system tools weren't even running properly and my initial chkdsk without repairs got stuck at 53% and that had to be done through command prompt because that didn't initiate through the tools section for the hard drive. So I'm not too optimistic right now, but we'll see.

    WatchMan.

    P.S. Snapper, you might want to get dawg a plane ticket to Chicago

    Yeah - they'll be replacing the faulty hard drive if the bad sectors can't be fixed by check disk.

    Re: ATAG Server#1 Maintenance. ***IMPORTANT***

    Well it looks like it's going to be awhile, but I started up TS3 on server #2, so at least people can talk with one another and we still have CLOD on server2 and UP3.0 RC4. It could be worse I suppose, we could be in the midst of changing offices or something, tragic like that.

    Re: ATAG Server#1 Maintenance. ***IMPORTANT***

    Just from what little I googled. If this procedure finds problems and has to fix them, this could take quite a bit of time. Some people have reported having scan disk running all night long to fix/find errors. We know we have bad sectors. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't take 8-10+ hours of repair.

    All I can say is be patient. It's either this or every program will eventually become corrupt like steam did yesterday.

    Re: ATAG Server#1 Maintenance. ***IMPORTANT***

    The important stuff - yes.

    But the hard drive is definitely dying/almost dead

    Trying to arrange a time / see when it can be replaced. Of all the PC's for one to fail on, it had to be the server's

    More to follow.

    Sorry guys - out of our hands..

    Is this one of the reasons why people give ATAG money every month? Easy, quick replacement of new hard drives, or is this a different sort of issue?

    Good luck with the fix.

    Was that a single drive, not RAID?

    Are you insinuating that we're screwing around and not doing everything we can to get the server up ASAP?

    That would be ATAG business, of course. Every effort is being made to salvage the existing disk first prior to a new installation.

    I would hope people help donate to spread the costs out for what we provide. Perhaps you don't understand, but server #1 costs us $250 a month. Server #2 costs almost $100 a month. That doesn't include any costs for these forums or their hosting as well. So regardless of how many donations are recieved, I still pay well over $100 a month out of my own pocket to keep this a float.

    I don't understand the jab tbh. There's many people here that have spent countless hours of their own time and money to try to provide a fun experience for everyone. Believe it or not, but the bandwidth nor the dedicated server that you use for TS3 or for the countless hours you've played on our server doesn't come free. We don't ask for much. But perhaps you should learn something before you be a jackass here.

    That's out of line. If you look the major portion comes from ATAG members.

Thanks for what you do and we'll do what we can to support your efforts.

    Cheers

    P.S.

    Any update for today?

    Wow DNR - that's very nice of you. Please don't feel like you have to do this.

    As far as an update - I'm installing everything on the server as we speak. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say everything's going to run better. According to Colander some hard drive errors have been there since March. And it only took trying to back up the data, just to see how much corruption there was. Just getting into the mission folder resulted in 20 corrupted / unreadable files. So imagine how much other corruption there was in the important bits of IL2COD on the server. If anything it's going to run much better.

    It's the 1st time I've ever seen/had a hard drive failure. It was scary seeing how badly it had corrupted everything. Anyhow, back to installing

    As far as your PC specs: You play with a 70" monitor? Holy Cow!

    That must be awesome
