I'm gutted for you James... Sounds like it was nothing you did though.

At least you've got some spares for the replacement though

I don't believe in coincidences - as I'm sure the Admin Team will agree following OOF's reboot earlier in the week, and a shit load of corruption a few minutes later ::)

Assuming everything went back together properly, I would have to suggest oil lack somehow - some dirt falling in oilways and clogging strainer? Sump plug working loose? Filter/oil pipes working loose?

And I suspect they won't let me do another reboot in a hurry  ::), which is a bugger, as the OOF server is getting towards needing yet another RAM upgrade, which needs the server to be shut down.  I hate Linux - the OS and app only needs about 80Mb RAM. Its the bloody useless Linux kernel thats the bloody problem. Whatever pillock wr....

...there, gone off at on a tangent on someone elses thread  :-[
