Hi,
Some of you may have noticed the gnucash website was down from
Sunday 1AM to Monday 12 Noon (36 hours). The problem seems to
be associated with a failing/overheating hard drive. I installed
several additional cooling fans, and rearranged the hard drives
for better circulation after the last lockup some 6-7 weeks ago,
but here we are again; this time the problems worse, and half the
raid partition seems to be gone. At the moment, I'm happy I'm using
raid, because I sure wouldn't be happy restoring from backups.
They'll be an outage of a few hours in a day or two to swap out
the hard drive.
