[Terra]

At 6:30am EST, I will be taking the server offline for apprx 20min to perform a hard drive upgrade...

Emergency upgrade complete...

Due to the logs situation - many of the large files were not compressed down - causing a very fast decrease in disk space... This caught me offguard because the last I checked (1:00 am) I had plenty of room left on the 'xdom' drive, and was working in the background on performing the transition to the 14gig drive...

That transition came *much* sooner than expected and I was forced into an emergency mode to allieviate this problem...

The drives have been switched out and everything seems to be back to normal... The bulk of the time was getting everything mirrored properly to the new drive and making *sure* that all files were correct and compared 100%...

I apologize for this setback... It charged me expotentially and I had to react instead of respond with preventative measures... ( though this drive switch was already in the works http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif )

On a lighter note: When they say that the Christmas holiday weekend is usually a long one...
