 | View Full Version : Do you guys sleep well and at night, without thinking of server which may crash FiberOptic 05-17-2002, 10:51 AM Do you guys sleep well at night? Or... can't leave the thought that one f*ching server may crash... customers who are furious... ... ToastyX 05-17-2002, 10:57 AM Crash? What's that? :confused: I thought only Windows did that. :stickout My server's been very reliable, so I don't worry about it. FiberOptic 05-17-2002, 10:59 AM I hope you're right... I'm not THAT familar to linux hosting, bought a Cobalt RaQ4r, so.. I reeeeeaaaaaalllyyy hope you're right :) akashik 05-17-2002, 04:11 PM You need to sleep. I think your customers would be just as worried if you'd gone mad from lack of it. If nothing else a good amount of sleep is going to make you less grouchy and improve your interpersonal skills. :) Greg Moore JayC 05-17-2002, 04:12 PM Well if you're going to lie awake at night worrying about bad things that might happen you should have been having problems long before having a server to take care of... what if someone breaks into my car? I hope a plane doesn't crash into the house... What if the power goes out so my alarm doesn't go off? Did I leave the gas on? What was that noise? Oh my god, a meteor might destroy the earth RIGHT NOW!!!! Sainthax 05-17-2002, 04:28 PM I just picked a random server on my network to see it's uptime Cobalt Raq4 0032 Uptime 45 days 16 hours 6 minutes it's last restart was for a software install Yup I sleep well :D FiberOptic 05-17-2002, 04:37 PM So... I'll believe the Cobalt RaQ's are very stable machines...? richy 05-17-2002, 05:18 PM sleep??? nah i dont worry, not a good way to do it. if anything happens i get woken up. JG 05-17-2002, 05:30 PM My phone rings if something goes wrong, I'm usually not too happy to hear it, but at least I don't have to worry! :D Angel78 05-17-2002, 07:01 PM NO mine sleep when i sleep, they are not allowed to crash while i sleep, thus there is always someone monitoring it, but grrrr they are not alowed to crash /bad, bad server go sit in the corner clocker1996 05-17-2002, 07:01 PM yeah i sleep without worrying Chicken 05-17-2002, 07:11 PM Originally posted by FiberOptic So... I'll believe the Cobalt RaQ's are very stable machines...? I've had a couple and the RaQ4r's have the dual hdd's so that's a bit of extra protection. The only time mine died is when I let someone upgrade errrrr... I can't remember what it was, maybe php and they botched it. If you don't overload 'em, they're fairly durable (my experience). FiberOptic 05-18-2002, 08:22 AM :) perhaps there won't be a reason te wake up again... Just sleep... and gain money :) Superior-IS 05-18-2002, 08:40 AM Yes I sleep well.. if you have a good disaster plan written down somewhere (and do some tests once in a while) you will be confident that things will run smoothly. IceBlaZe 05-18-2002, 01:59 PM Have you thought about paying to someone on different timezone? (Like say if you are from USA, pay to an Australian to watch over your server and do some support). That should let you sleep well even with win98 servers :D HostOnFly 05-18-2002, 11:48 PM Yes I sleep well just because we are running on cluster system, there are no single point of failure :cool: remarkable 05-19-2002, 12:03 AM I know I sleep very well at night because I have 1 guy in India watching things for me 6 days a week and another guy in Denver 4 nights a week. Well configured servers do not need attention. mdrussell 05-19-2002, 06:45 AM I too sleep very well. In the past when we were fork bombed and had some problems, I had some sleepless nights then, but now I sleep well. |
