Minecraft Server = broken

[WaLLy]

So last night, while trying to get the GameTracker banner working, I did the usual... Gracefully shut down MC server, and gave it a reboot. After a few moments, I noticed Remote Desktop wasn't connected to the server as it normally does after a reboot. Seemed strange. The light was on and I didn't hear any noises (bad HDD). Since it was already late (1am) I couldn't further troubleshoot it. Unplugged the server, and I'd go at it today after work.

Soon as I got up this morning, it bothered me that I didn't know what the problem might be so I quickly plugged it back in, connected it to my monitor and turned it on. Right away, the HDD started ticking. At boot up I get the OSX folder with a question mark on it. Which means it can't find the OS...

At the moment, I don't have any other info as I had to come to work. I'll troubleshoot it some more tonight but it looks like it'll be the HDD that has gone bad.

On the bright side, the last backup of the server was from Friday morning at 3AM Pacific.

I hate that shiz most annoying thing ever

 

[WaLLy]

Sooooo, HDD = dead. If you've heard Joona's keyboard (clickity clack), well it sounds kinda like that lol!

I have a spare 64GB 3.0 USB flash drive which I've used as the server before. I reinstalled the OS onto it and currently configuring the MC server on it. I expect to be done within the next hour or so.

Are you gonna upgrade too 1.6.1

 

[WaLLy]

No. Unfortunately, Bukkit 1.6.* isn't out yet. Unless our MC masses request to play on a vanilla server.

 

[DamageINC]

Any plans to ever bring back the old world?

I kind of miss it. I put a lot of time into my stuff.

 

[WaLLy]

Been meaning to add it as a 2nd world.

 

[tombraider]

No worries was just wondering

 

[DamageINC]

Cool. Lil will be happy too.

World edit was fun on that world.

 

[WaLLy]

Taking a lil longer than I expected. Finished importing the world, just need the last final touches. Unfortunately I gotta get some sleep. MC will be up and running in a few more hours.

I've lost a good many HDD's, too. It sounds like the spindle went bad

Are you gonna upgrade too 1.6.1

I've been testing the latest bukkit on my own server (1.6.2 dev) and there are a few querks that need still need to be worked out. As soon as 1.6.2 beta is released, (it could be a week or two) I can start testing a multi-world plugin.

Kreuuuuubs. Addd Latium to the Krew server. NAOW.

Kreuuuuubs. Addd Latium to the Krew server. NAOW.

I'm assuming it's your friend? I've added that person just now.


The server is back up and running. However, new IP. With that said, it is probably best to add the following domain as the server: idigibase.com

Latium is Kreubs' server that he runs. It's got some of the greatest building Minecraft has ever known. Me, Rival, Nikon, foetoeshop, otto and a few others play on it when it's up.

+1 to Moment! Latium needs more citizens! We just expanded our walls again.

Latium? Old server?? the old server was the shit, please bring that back!!
