One of Jack's drives has suffered a failure today. Due to our use of RAID, this has not resulted in a total shutdown of the system. The RAID array is being rebuilt to return the system to a fully redundant state. During this process, drive access will be slowed and some higher than normal load will develop on the machine. This process is expected to complete within a few hours. At that time, we will be back to a fully redundant state among the drives in the system. While it would normally be fine to let the disk array remain in this state (only a few sectors of the drive that failed) we feel it would be better to replace the drive in the system, seeing as it is only 2 months old at this point. A new drive is expected Monday or Tuesday and will be added to the system during the evening hours (to avoid interupting"primetime" ours for the server). This will not require downtime of the machine, but will require another rebuild (to essentially clone the data from the existing drive to the new one). Because we'll be able to select the time of rebuild, we'll do this so it causes the least interruption to the system. Read the rest of this entry »

vBulletin 3.0.11 vBulletin 3.0.11 has been brought about due to a recently discovered XSS (cross site scripting) security issue. This issue is very hard to exploit, but we'd rather have the issue fixed. If you cannot upgrade, it is strongly recommended that you patch your installation. Please see the end of this post for patching instructions. The issue stems from a minor PHP bug, so upgrading PHP to version 4.4.2 or 5.1.2 (once either is released) will also fix the issue.
