Issues with broken Images!
 

Hello Dear P&H Users,

Today we had a horrible crush on one of our upload servers that is responsible for the data from the last 3 month of sites operation

We are now battling on restoring around 1TB of data.

The recovery time (if successful) should be around 14 hours give or take. so please bare with us.

We will keep you posted as get news from our hosting company.

Thanks for understanding.

So, there is chance that many of those photos will not be restored?

Yes there is such chance, but lets not jump to conclusions.

Lets wait patiently for updates from our hosting company.

Very bad news. This is the second photo host who in recent days has such a large-scale problem. imagebam just lost all the pictures from one of the servers.

Ok. we will wait. Please let us know what finally happened when the process of restore is completed so we can know our photos are still live or some of them were lost.

Also we are waiting....restore all images or you lose all or some images....

I would like to believe that the problem will be solved positively and quickly!

yes also I sure.but it is terrible.because i lose my hardowrk.if they can't
Respected Pimp any update now? because almost 14 hours is complete..

Hello Everyone,

Quick update from the hosting company:

So i`m waiting for further updates, and will keep you guys posted.

We are doing all in our powers to fix this issue, so please bare with us, its the only thing we can do at this point.

It is nice...Thank you very much pimp we are waiting for update...

So.... to my seeing the chances seems slim... but again waiting.

it is bad shit.but we hope

Respected pimp any new update?

So again waiting....

pimp, i see new photos which have been uploaded few minutes ago.

But uploading is closed. How those photos are uploaded?

We reopened it last night, we just didn't remove the notice.

ok .will be waiting.I hope everything worked fine

Quick Update:

Unfortunately once again the rebuild to a replacement slot1 drive fails out at 75%. We have, however, managed to get the previously undectable drive (slot1) working again in the replacement chassis/backplane, though we're sure that it is still a temporary solution at best. We will try to rebuild the array into slot 0 instead of slot 1 like we have been, hopefully the data on the original Slot1 drive is in better shape and will allow the rebuild to slot0 to complete successfully. Should this fail, we can see about just trying to pull whatever we can from the degraded RAID or passing the server back to you in a rescue environment to move any data you can offsite. We'll keep you updated as to the progress.

Pimp, which photos are in danger of being lost permanently?

Imean photos eg from last week? Or they can be photos of 1 week and also photos of eg 4 months ago?

Really? Ugh, this is unbelievable.
I've always been paranoid about something like this happening.

I even tried to check every day to make sure things were going smoothly.
How typical.

Dear pimp
Any new update?anything fix?

At this point the third rebuild failed also, and we are now trying to save at least some of the data manually, the process is going but the guys are asleep due to a very hard night, so i`ll keep you posted when i have some more information.

ya agree..
Hope you save almost most of data...

We are now actually saving some % of the data, but again i don't know how much until its done, so please bare with us, nothing i can promise at this point. but trust me we are working as hard as we can!

Dear pimp
yes i know this.we hope you got good result for us..

Thanks, Pimp!

Your ongoing efforts, and those of SysAdmin, are appreciated.

Best wishes for a successful rebuild with minimal data loss.

Respected pimp any new update?

We recovered ~ 30% of data already, by Monday we hope we'll be able to recover almost all files.

wow its a great news.....
will be waiting.....
Respected, any new update

Data recovery ~60% now

very nice..Thanks Dear pah support and pimp.Appreciate your hard work....
Any new update?

I still have broken images .. very disheartening to see them .. Will they be whole again??

fcd, please read-up. we are working very hard to recover the data, and we keep updating the thread regarding our process, hope fresh news tomorrow morning.

I don't understand. What exactly happened?

Why's it so inconsistent?

respected pimp any new update?
when you live online recover images?

I've seen this with other sites... Never seems to end well. Good luck guys!

Data recovery at ~ 83% and still going.

Now i dont think so everything is fine.because we don't know acutally what they do...
Dear respected pimp please update us.
How much long take time for this processor?and when online recover files?

I will update as soon as i will know more news, by tomorrow morning we should know already about the whole plan..

Managed to recover a big part of the data, I'm going to attempt one last try to recover at least a part of the missing data (~ 43 GB of data still need to be recovered) and most likely tomorrow the data will be online, we are really sorry for the inconvenience, doing the best we can to restore everything.
