Just a heads up guys. I'm currently attempting to recover the website through spidering the Google cache.
I'll let you know how it turns out. On 3/15/07, Drew Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Please feel free to visit http://www.voip-wiki.us I have set this up to be able to hold information for the Asterisk community. I will also gladly allow others to mirror it. It is sitting in a climate controlled data center in Central PA on a server with RAID. Additionally, it is at the end of 95Megabytes/second on a BGP redundant connection. Please feel free to use it, if the community feels it can be useful... additionally, I would love to setup some rsync mirrors with others so that we can have redundant backups of this very valuable information. The previous message to the list was they lost 3 of 4 drives in the array. I'm not sure of any RAID that can sustain 75% hardware loss and still function. As somebody else has already pointed out -- "There must be more to it." Let's say three of four drives failed -- the odds of them failing at the same time are vanishingly slim; but if you're not paying attention, and you operate with a degraded volume, well... then you get what you deserve. RAID or no RAID, the site should have one or more mirrors. -Stephen- The odds of multiple drive failure are a lot higher than you think. Failing power supplies or power spikes are common to all drives and controller failure on a drive can throw noise back onto the SCSI bus causing corruption on other drives. Although the other affected drives are not physically damaged, your data has evaporated none the less. We have already had one multi-drive RAID failure on our main file server (only one drive was physically failed) and a single drive and power supply failure on our Asterisk box. RAID 1 and redundant power supplies saved the day. Spring and Fall are the special Hardware Failure Seasons! Seems to affect power supplies, hard drives and light bulbs in particular. regards, Drew -- Drew Gibson Systems Administrator OANDA Corporation www.oanda.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
