Apologies.

Primary DB server is proper fsck'd.  It corrupted the database on the secondary when it went.

We restored from a backup from 8pm last night (which is the last one that looks not to contain the corruption), so there may be some missing posts made after that time.


Because we are running from the secondary, which is normally responsible for backups, the entire site will be unusable when backups are taken.  This is likely to be early morning, between 6 and 7am, give or take. This is due to the way the database has to be locked for the period of the backup.

It will be a few days before a pair of new database servers can be stood up, and normality returns.

I'm the same age as you, Lizzie, and I'm pretty sure blackjacks and fruit salads were four for a penny.  :-\

Sounds like, as ever, herculean efforts have been made to maintain our little community of soapboxes. Thanks to those responsible, the OOF lives to fight rant another day!  :)

In the absence of somewhere to rant about Brexit, I took to bidding on ebay cars instead!  ::)  Luckily I'm tightfisted, so was outbid every time.  :D 

Thanks to TB's efforts I think I'm safe tonight!  :y

Thank you, Jamie for your efforts. You should have guessed the hamsters were rebelling when they put on their hi-viz jackets & were plotting in French. ::) ::) ::) I hope the hamsters while rioting didn't blow up or burn anything out this time. :o :o :o

I hear there is this newfangled "Cloud" thing, apparently you just throw everything into the cloud and it takes care of itself by magic. Sounds like it would save you loads of time and money. You should look into it  :y
