Esato server problems - Esato archive

Posted by laffen
The Esato site have been unavailable a couple of times the last days. This happend because of a disk fault, and we was not able to fix it right away. Thanks to arnoldc for prompt notification about the error.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you all. I know that some of you are addicted to the forum and I'll do my best to prevent downtime in the future.

The problem with the server seems to be caused by the high traffic to the site. More than 200000 dynamicly generated pages served daily causes the disk to kneel. We will in a couple of days add more memory to the box, but this is only a temporary solution. A new server is needed, but this is a costly issue and will not happend in the near future.

The server problem seems to have been solved. Fingers crossed... Some SQL-optimization and adding more memory did have an impact on the performance and server load.
