dpreview.com - inconvenient truth

Forums temporarily closed

Friday 18th January, 12:45 PM GMT

This morning at about 6 AM GMT we had a catastrophic failure in the RAID array of our forums database server. Our RAID-5 array would have been able to withstand losing one disk but apparently two died at the same time. Either way the entire array was unusable. Our hosting provider has now replaced all disks and rebuilt the server and we have begun the process of reinstalling and restoring. Further updates as we have them.

Thank you for your understanding. Click here to return to the home page
