No problems for months...now a repeated "HTTP ERROR."

I've played with Proxies, but it did no good.

Workunit Server Status
We are still having RAID failures on our workunit server. We are getting good support and are working to fix it

Mmmkay. Now the less good news. Looks like gowron is having some fundamental RAID issues. The issues has been whittled down to one RAID1 pair tagged as degraded that won't rebuild no matter what we do. THe guys at Overland have been super helpful - but this is actually an old SnapAppliance (not a box that Overland sells) and running a (very) old version of the OS. So it's looking like our best bet to move forward is to upgrade the OS on the thing. However to do so we need to copy the workunits on the system (about 2 terabyte's worth) elsewhere temporarily. How about... thumper! That copy process is happening now.

Meanwhile, we'll be off for the foreseeable future. Like at least until next week, I imagine. Bummer.

Essentially, that project is down.
Always, when it works one day but not the next, assume it's the project. Check their front page and forums for news first. That's what they are there for.
