After extreme hardware problems on the server machine everything is back up and running again.

Both hard disks crashed so we had to restore the backup from January, 9th 2013, which was about two days old. Sorry about this, but the backup from January, 10th was compomised with most likely corrupt data because of the dying hard disks.

Our server provider Hetzner keeps telling us that hard disks are expendable items and that it is completly normal that there are hard disk crashs. Well, 5 disks in 6 months, we do not believe this. Also because we are running root servers for almost 10 years and had 1 or 2 failing disks until we got this machine here…

Guys, sorry again!

Due to network problems and the check of the switchport and the NIC of the server all Jabber services and this website will be down for some time starting today at 2:00pm CET.

Due to the third hard disk failure since summer all Jabber services and this website will be down for some time starting today at 10:00pm CET. Sorry guys, but the hard disk needs to be replaced. But for events like this the server runs a RAID1 array.

/EDIT 7:18pm: Our server provider needs more tests, so the 10pm date is cancelled. We will announce the service outage in a new blog article when clear.

Due to another hard disk failure all Jabber services and this website will be down for some time starting today at 11:45pm CEST. Sorry guys, but the hard disk needs to be replaced. But for events like this the server runs a RAID1 array.

The server is back online again with a brand new 3TB hard disk. The RAID array is rebuilding now. The services were down from 12:30pm to 1:15pm CEST.
