Happy Holidays! I'm trying to work from home some, but Comcast has done a pretty good job of ensuring that my home connection is barely usable - it flickers on and off every minute or so. Still, I should be able to get to most support issues that don't require a steady connection (read: SSH).

Okay, sites on LJ2 have been restored. Email is coming next. Please email support if you have any lingering problems.

LJ3 was unaffected, and the RAID 10 array coming in 2 weeks will prevent this in the future.

This morning, there was a hard drive failure on LJ2. We have got the server back up, and are now in the process of restoring from the most recent backups. Check the news page on logjamming.com, as I will update on there as more is known.

The ironic thing about this failure is that it happened 10 days before we were scheduled to install a RAID 10 hard drive array of 4 drives, which would mean we could have up to 2 hard drives fail without having any problem... The IT gods are laughing at me now, I can sense it! That said, the impending installation of the RAID array means that we should never encounter this issue again.
