Roughly 32 hours of posts were lost when the RAID 10 array failed in spectacular fashion last night (just before the backup for the day's posts could be completed).

This means that any posts made from about 2:05am on the morning of July 23, 2019 until the site was restored at about 11:05am were lost. New member registrations, PMs, files uploaded, etc. are lost.

We successfully restored the site (all files, the databases, etc.) from the backup made early in the morning on July 23, and ask that you please re-create any posts that you felt were worthwhile that you lost in the 32 hours or so that we no longer have.

I'll be here in this topic to answer any other questions you might have.

Thank you.

Ouch, gotta love the life of IT sometimes. We moved from nightly to a more granular hourly backup, but with our work losing 32 hours of data would result in probably a week or more of people redoing their work while trying to keep up with current work.

Yeah, hourly would, IMO, be massive overkill for a site like TST, but I'm sure I'll review the policies and backup settings.

At the end of the day, I don't know that anyone said anything too important. And 32 hours is a pretty small amount of time, all things considered.

I'm troubleshooting an error that occurs when you attempt to upload a file.

I agree, Vinsk probably didn't.  OTOH, I'm sure I had said many brilliant things that I'll now never remember ..

Sorry for your troubles, Erik.  For a RAID 10 array to have taken a crap it must have been spectacular, and the stuff of nightmares for a guy like me.  As far as backups are concerned, most modern solutions backup at the block-level these days, and will also dedupe the data, which helps reduce both storage requirements and the time that making a backup takes.

Yep to all of that. The backups are to a pretty recent standard and, yes, they're incremental.

Lol! Like when Lodka ( tv show Taxi) is being Alex at the shrink’s office and says he’s discovered the secret to Alex’s happiness and then suddenly reverts back to Lodka.....

Are you planning on putting in 10,000 hours of practice?

Nope. 1500 should do it. I'm a natural ball striker with a strong mental game. I have impeccable putting skills, but 1000 of those practice hours will be solidifying my 3-6' putts. You can't win on tour if you miss those. 😉

@iacas - I'm glad you got the site back up. It must have been a long night.

Nothing happened until about 2:04am today. In fact, it may have been the backup process that runs at 2:05am that may have prompted the problems to finally "break" something, so really it's just been since I woke up at 7am that I've been doing this. And by 11:00 they'd rebuilt the RAID array and got it back online, and I've just been tacking down a few little things (like uploading through the site) since.

    • Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
