Dawn of the Geeks

One of my Seagate drives finally failed completely. So bunnies.dawnofthegeeks.com and other sites are temporarily down. I just ordered a new Western Digital SATA drive from NewEgg and it should be here later this week. It’s nothing I wasn’t expecting. I’ll be replacing the old IDE drives as they fail with new SATA drives.

There are two IDE drives left in the server. One has the server logs and the other has the database information. I’m going to limit the number of sites that have access logs to cut down on drive usage as well as speed up the load time for web-sites. Google Analytics works great so I don’t need to waste time dealing with logs.

As for the database I’m going to have to work out a backup plan because I’m sure that drive will be failing next.
