Today, we are going to back up the database and optimize tables for general maintenance starting at 3pm PST. We are also going to replace the data fileserver with one that is more robust. Our initial fileserver used a logical volume consisting of 5 146GB Ultra3 SCSI drives, w/o redundancy. One of the disks has developed a problem putting the logical volume in peril. As a replacement we've built a new fileserver from a dual 2.8GHz XEON w/ 2GB RAM running a 6 X 146 GB RAID-5 from a LSI MegaRAID controller, providing redundancy.
