/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Apparently my server likes to destroy its parts every now and then, and this time the boot HDD is the victim. This HDD contained all configuration plus the database containing the archive data, and it was, well, needed to boot the system.

When I originally started configuring the archive, no other people had announced plans to start an archive yet. When other archives started popping up I was almost done configuring anyways, so I decided to just go through with it and host yet another archive. I'm not sure how much data I can recover, but most likely the database is fucked and I only have Eksopl's version left (it was on the FTP HDD), which during initial configuration took 24 hours and 23 minutes to enable searching on my server. I'd need to configure tons of stuff on a temporary installation to restart the dumper again, so it's not archiving right now unless I jump through a whole bunch of hoops. To put it simply, it's not worth the effort to restart the archive, so unless people suddenly urgently need four archives of the same board, I probably won't be archiving /jp/ anymore.

The FTP data is still fine as it was on a different HDD. I've resumed FTP hosting on a temporary install, but it's not really stable right now. Uptime not guaranteed until I get a new HDD and properly set everything up again.

Image tar now also on my FTP, in the same folder as the database files.

Archive is currently being modified to allow search (and images are being extracted, but that can be done even if the archive would be up). It's been stable despite having been under heavy load for 16 hours straight, so everything might be okay after all.

By the way, posts from when easymodo stopped archiving until when it goes back up again are not archived, unfortunately. It can't archive and fix stuff at the same time.
