Bad Mojo Ressurected (Frankenstein style)
After some trying and moving files around I got a temporary solution (until I get a new server) for the problems. As we speak I'm uploading the data files to a secondary server that has taken over the role of file server. This solution will be altered a bit when I get my new server to create a more fail proof situation. The screenshots itself might a bit longer to get online properly again. Until that time I hope the most viewed ones are all in the cache.

Bad Mojo R.I.P.
After trying to get everything back in order I gave up trying to get the disc itself to work again. It's unable to boot from it but I can read from it using a live CD. Preparing my workstation to take over the HTTP server so I can open up the wow_db and wow_screenshots section again.

Bad Mojo Revisited
So after posting the previous blog post I did some checks with my home server before I had to go to work. And it completely died before my eyes. It went from a complete free, to a kernel panic to a complete failure of the system. When I get home tonight I'll place the harddisks from the server into the old one and get everything up and running that way. When installing the dead one I made the decission to using hotplug hardware detection instead of setting what drivers to load by hand. I'm so happy with doing that now cause it basicly means I can swap the harddisks plug everything in and fire it up without problems.

Bad Mojo
Great a few bad things happend the last 12 hours. First of all the blog post I was preparing yesterday night failed to get into the database so I can start all over again today. Secondly the electric company blew out a phase putting half the building (and including me) without power. That resulted in a down and eventually damaged how server. Due to that all the wow_screenshots and wow_db pages that aren't in the cache are unavailable. Probably I have to recompile the servers kernel when I get back home tonight from work. I'll keep you posted.
