What happened to all the posts?

I had a major disk crash, on a VMWare ESXi box running four virtual machines, including this one.

Apache’s mod_rewrite and WordPress’ Smart 404 plugin are helping to make the old incoming links automatically redirect to the correct articles at their new URLs. Clever stuff.

All pictures and comments are gone unfortunately.

It happened because I was trying to implement a nice Bacula backup system, in another virtual guest. The extra RAID disks caused either a controller error, or just coincidentally caused four out of six drives to fail around about the same time. There were two three-disk RAID5 volumes, so that’s two disks out of each three-disk array that failed.

Bacula is now on its own physical box and I’m quite a fan!
