                      The report now is 2 more hours the server will be down. No compensation, no apologies.


                      6 hours total.

                                            Reply from Zak on Skype basically told me to go fuck myself and could care less how long the server is down for.


                                            Never seen anything like this before. BTW this server alone is over $1k+ a month.

                                                Never seen anything like this before. BTW this server alone is over $1k+ a month.
                                                We've had exactly the same attitude from him. He's a grade A asshole who doesn't give a single fuck about clients.

                                                If it wasn't for his senior tech Manu keeping things afloat, I reckon that YellowFiber would have been long gone.

                                                      The more data you have the longer it takes. I love the fact that you bring this to the forums. You were warned when this happened previously that by having so much data on a single machine you are vulnerable to these problems. You really should of took the advice and gotten a second box for replication purposes.

                                                      I'm not going to get into very much more detail other than.. you have a lot of data and you lack the understanding of what a file system check is.

                                                      Thanks for jumping to conclusions while we are talking on skype and have not came up with a solution yet. See much like many other people we get things resolved then figure out what to do, not jump around 20 different directions.

                                                        I'd rather not complain about anyone. It's not my style. Anyone who knows me know this. I want sites up and not have to worry about a server being down while I'm sleeping. Not having to notify a host when there are problems. It's the host's job to know first and be proactive on a fully managed server. Though my 11,000+ posts and it's EXTREME rare I call anyone out. And over the last 8 years on GFY have been plenty who have owned me $$$$ or flaked on something or another.

                                                                      my guess is you have already been told that restoring 6tb of data will take longer then waiting for the fsck to finish

                                                                        Customer has backups, we can perform a full bare metal restore and restore their server to new equipment, that isn't the problem. The problem is the large amount of data being restored if we needed to would take.. many many hours to restore... So yes everything is in place for hardware failures etc, there is a hard choice to make and to figure out what will take less time to resolve, letting a server finish its simple check desk routine .. or restore it.. in this case.. letting it finish its check disk was the optimal solution..

                                                                        And as I write this the customers server is back online and functioning just fine.

                                                                        For those of you who don't know what fsck is, it is a utility short for file system check, it checks the drive for bad sectors, bad inodes, bad mappings to inodes etc. The slower the drives and greater amount of data you have the longer this process takes, its a 5 step process. In specific situations the linux operating system _forces_ you to do this. This is due to a file system being journalized.

                                                                        Sure there are alternative file systems that do not have journalized file systems like ext3/4 suchs as riserFS or XFS. but frankly those are a bit inferior for day to day operation and have their own specific uses.

Statistically these things do happen and aren't necessarily negligent on your hosts part, either. The only solution to have you up rapidly would be if you bought an identical second server that was being regularly sync'd. Most small and medium sized clients don't duplicate their infrastructure for the rare occurrence that a file system integrity problem happens. In this instance, perhaps at an annual cost of another 5k or so. When your system (hopefully) comes up later, ask yourself if it would be worth the extra spend and if so, order a second server. I know your host understands your frustration, these things are awful, but I don't personally think its appropriate to publicly bash them for the time it takes Fsck to complete if they explained what was going on fully. Best of luck

Contrary to what some believe we do have a great product. And still 90% of our sales come from referrals so we must be doing something right. The first negative thread in 6 years? I am fine with that, and it wasn't even something that was within our control. Whats more hilarious is its the same people over and over again trolling the forums constantly ragging on my organization when most of these people i have never directly done business with nor ever talked to.

                                                                                              There are always two sides to every story, you can beat things into the ground as much as you want, but if you can't understand the technical reasons to why things happen then people are at fault as well. I wish there was a magic wand that magically fixed things in a instant.. that would sure make my staffs life a lot easier.

I'm commenting on your temper, which is quite clear and seen in almost any of your posts. But please, let me know what "false accusations" have i made against your company, im very curious about that.

                                                                                                    Really the important question is why are you having to run fsck on a 6TB volume in the first place? Having to run it at all indicates something seriously hit the shit, why is your server crashing so badly it's corrupting the file system?

                                                                                                    6TB on a single machine is NOT a big deal though, I have machines with double that amount of data on them up for years with no issues. I've had to replace failed drives, rebuilt RAID arrays, etc but I've never had one down for hours running fsck.

                                                                                                    I'd recommend adding a SAN or NAS to your setup given the amount of data though, at least you'd be on a platform that can resume service without a 6 hr file rebuild short of someone dropping a bomb on the server. A network storage system w/ replication would be your best bet in terms of ending downtime issues.
