But does anyone know what happened to the adventure4x4.net site??? They seem to be down today.

 

[MrsMudLovingFJ]

Huh, you're right, I have no idea. Arien doesn't know either, and he's a mod on there.

The site seems to be gone. That's weird.

Arien will see what's up.

 

[Fjamming]

and I thought it's just me. I have access issues over there all the time.

 

[MrsMudLovingFJ]

It's a complicated situation, but it should be back soon.

 

[FunJunkie]

mabey a server backup or something.

 

[MrsMudLovingFJ]

Ya. The server is held by another guy and the guy doesn't really keep up on it very much, so it goes down often.

 

[DominicG]

Those dang server operating midgets.. always slacking.

 

[FJVP]

mmmmm Midgets!

RAID

It's a computer hardware 'thing'. There are different levels. It usually means that you have more than one drive, and there is a level of built in backup, where one drive can fail, you simply replace it, and all the data is still there via a 'backup' of sorts on the other drives.

 

[FJVP]

Mirrored drives?

 

[CADavebert]

Mirrored drives?

That's one level of RAID. Do you not know what that is or are you just questioning if that is their issue?

Another bad form, but has anyone else had a hard time with the Blue Room> I click on a page or topic, and it just doesn't load for 30-45 seconds per page. Weird. All other sites are as fast as usual. This one is blazing fast!

Blue room is quick for me most of the time. It has way more traffic then the others and that will slow it down sometimes.

i swear, at the stroke of midnight, the blue room lags for a few minutes for me, and i cant post again until about 12:05.

That's when they feed the midgets.

It's probably backup time at 12:00

Oh and RAID levels are as follows listed in order from worst data recovery to best data recovery abilities:

RAID 0 = Disk striping, no parity: uses 2 drives combining the size of both drives e.g. 2 80 GB drives gives you 160 GB
RAID 1 = Disk mirroring: uses 2 drives, one mirrors the other 2 80 GB drives would only give you 80 GB
RAID 5 = Disk striping with parity: uses 3 or more drives you lose one drives space for parity e.g 4 80 GB drives gives you 240 GB

There is also Raid 6, 10, JBOD, and maybe more but I do not use them.

Oh and yes, I'm a computer geek but the reason for replying was to increase post count! Woo hoo!
