Hi all,

With the source-files of PS growing steadily, we're running out of diskspace (yes, the server isn't only running PS, but also splintercellworld and a few other sites).

There's a small possibility of downtime on Sunday, in which I'll try to add a second HDD.
This requires a reboot and some configuration.

Because the server is kinda small, I'm not sure if the HDD will fit besides the other hardware. In that case, there won't be any downtime (and no extension of the storage space... doh).

But if it seems to fit, I expect downtime to be around 8 minutes if all goes well.
The server will be backupped first to minimize risks of data corruption.

Regards,

frvge (in his role of Data Management Officer Chief of Technical Stuff Staff)

Great, we forgot the IDE cable for the 2.5'' disk... anyway, the backups that are normally stored on this server will be moved to another server to make room for PS stuff.

Problem solved with no downtime.
