Here is a status report from Delphy at Mod The Sims 2
dateline= Wrote:Okay RAID rebuild failed - the backup drive is completely toast.
I'm going to get the primary drive shipped to me so I can run my own recovery on it. However this will obviously take some days.
So, basically what I'm doing is re-installing the basic stuff on Chii (gcc, libjpeg etc) so I can get PHP compiled. Once that happens I'll run a script that tells me which files are actually missing from the filesystem, and then we can identify the threads.
Once we know which threads are affected, I'll make a custom banner appear at the top of each of them, asking for members or the creator to resubmit the files. This way we can hopefully rebuild anything missing.
I apologise for this and for the delay - it's obvious there was a massive failure of the backup systems here, which only ever comes to light when something actually goes wrong. Going forward I'm going to investigate more stringent and effective backup solutions but for now we'll have to see how bad the damage really is.
