On the server outage

[Colin Finck]

Dear all,

As you've certainly noticed, one of our main servers providing the
www.reactos.org website along with JIRA and FishEye was down yesterday.
Problems began yesterday around 13:00 UTC and lasted till some minutes ago.

This has happened due to a severe hardware failure on the hypervisor
machine serving the affected VMs. Our hosting provider needed two
attempts to find and replace the failed hardware.
Finally, the crash has caused one database table to get corrupted. This
one was repaired just now. No data has been lost though.

All services should be up again now. If you still notice anything not
working, please report to me.
We're sorry for the caused inconveniences!


Best regards,

Same thing has apparently happened to the Testman database, which I
fixed just now. I'm not aware of any data losses, but will perform
another database sanity check in the upcoming days to be sure.

In the meantime, Testman browsing and submissions should work again.
