Random slowdowns...
Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2007 8:07 am
As you may have noticed since we started this site we've had random slowdowns that we haven't been able to resolve. They seem to have been getting better in recent weeks, but I have still noticed them from time to time.
In the past week or two, the server we run on has encountered a very high load and has had to be rebooted several times, leading to about 10 minutes of downtime each time. Well, yesterday afternoon, the primary hard drive of the server failed. (No information on the B190.com site was lost.) It's very possible the failing drive was the source of our random slowdowns.
Hopefully the replacement drive will resolve the issue, but I just wanted to post this so that people were aware that we know the problem existed, and we have been trying to work with the provider to fix the problem.
