Onno Kreuzinger · **Server DOWNTIME -** 04-07-2005

Lads and Gents,

during important security updates the server hosting this service became non-operative. The outage lasted aprox 4 hours, all services had been affected.

The cause was a improperly set boot entry which required a rescue system being started. After the bootloader was corrected an improper (unsynced) reboot left the boot partition in an unusable state. Most of the time was spend searching the cause in a trial and error fashion.

We apologise for any incontinence this downtime may have caused and we will look into this issue to prevent further disruptions of this kind.

Kind Regards,

yours "Cpt. Slimy PR Style" (I f*** did not see the this for 3 1/2 hours) Onno
