[SERVER DOWN] SEP 4 2009

[The Traveler]

Hello all,

Last night I decided that it was time to do an offline defragmentation of the DMT-Nexus server.

With this offline defrag the server restarts and starts a defrag of the system files that are normally locked before starting the rest of the operating system. Normally this would take just 10 to 15 minutes but this time it took more as 5 hours! After investigating I found out that I checked an option that I shouldn't have. It's an option that made a much more thorough defrag but also takes much longer.

So sorry for the inconveniance and next time I wont touch that option, the good news though is that the system files are REALLY defragmented now.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

Thanks for the info Traveler!

I was getting worried. On the bright side, the server should move a little faster now:wink:

aye i was scared at first!
but then i remembered seeing you in the chat remarking that you were on the server.. i assumed all was well
was happy to see the nexus back in the am!
it does seem to be working a bit smoother too!

I was a little tense when I couldn't log in last night... glad to hear it was routine maintenance.

Oh it scares me so much when your server's don't talk back to me
