Nice customer support by Hetzner.

Yesterday I made an appointment to get the disk replaced at 18:00 CEST and sent them all info they need. They confirmed.

Today I send emails and get no reply. On phone is endless waiting with music. Finally I get an email at 19:55 saying it was not possible to change the disk at the appointed time. Please make a new appointment.

Sorry, guys, I try to always keep the pool up, but this was out of my control.

Trying to now get the damn server back up again. All this downtime for nothing. Sad

Hehe. 5 minutes = how long I thought changing a disk on a server takes.

Almost 1 hour and counting = how long it actually takes? Sad

is there a notification that goes out when the site goes down?

Yep, I wrote on twitter that the server is going on but forgot to write it here.

It is indeed the announced downtime to replace a hard drive. Hope the server comes back to life soon. *tap foot*

Looks like the pool is down right now.

it's the announced downtime to replace the dead harddrive.

Ah my fault, didn't see that. Thanks!

Hey Doc,

Thanks for the heads up. I know backup pool functionality has been on your list for a while, but I was wondering if it would also be possible to add in solo mining as a backup option for if the pool goes down.

Technically it's the same thing. You just have to set 127.0.0.1:8332 as a backup server with a local bitcoind running as a server.

Certainly. That's also coming.

All disk are complete crap! Two years ago was a whole different story. That was what a friend (who knows his things very well) told me. After six mounts they are all dead, Which reminds me that i have to by second one and build raid1 also:) Probably web server crash a day ago was caused by that also...Just sharing thoughts...Thank you very much for your immediate and adequate actions!

Yes. I'm starting to hate disks. Second time since I started BitMinter that a disk dies.

Hopefully the new disk will go in tomorrow. Hoping for something like a 5 minute downtime. Until then, let's mint some coins.

Sorry, everything slowed down for a moment as the disk started coughing and sputtering error messages in its final death throes.

Now running smoothly on 1 disk. I'm waiting on response from datacenter techs to arrange to have the faulty disk replaced. Expect a hopefully brief downtime again when they are ready to replace it.
