I have a client with a box colocated at ILand in Boston.

Today we started having weird issues and the box appears to have died with a hard drive failure. Last thing I saw was messages like: /bin/ls: command not found

We have rack space in Austin, TX and want to get the box shipped there, however would consider hiring someone in Boston if they were able to look at it very quickly to assess the situation and try to get it up and running temporarily.

Have staff who rely on this box so time of the essence, serious enquiries from expert/guru level Linux contractors in Boston or Austin or who could service those areas very quickly, please.

We'll be looking to get the box working if that's possible, otherwise recover the data from it and transfer the data and a working customer application to a new server that's already online in Austin.

Please call me directly - 989 244 1142

Thanks

If is possible boot box from Live CD and setup ssh connection - any sysadmin can repair box remote.

Sounds possible that someone ran rm -rf /*

Which would explain ls not being found, if that was the case, there won't be any data to recover.

It might not be that though, someone would have to look at it to see, I'm just speculating.

rm -rf / rarely deletes everything. many times /home is untouched along with /var
