Mwzaf has been hacked

[Starcraftmazter]

A few "mere" years?. Wow.

TBH, with a RAID-10 array if one fails I can just pop a new one in and be good as new.

Anyway, it was fun chatting with you. Have a great night.

Actually not as good as new, it will take several hours to rebuild the array, the higher capacity the longer.

That's a downtime which could have been avoided if you cared to purchase proper server HDs.

Not to mention long-term costs and downtimes will go up because all your HDs will fail significantly quicker than they should.

When RAID-10 repairs the array there is no downtime during the rebuild/resync...

How's that?

Assuming you replaced one HDD at a time, the array continues to be functional and when a new HDD is added it will rebuild it in the background.

it seems like mwzaf's data is not lost, just the hacker defaced their main page to teach them a lesson only.
coz there is no complaint about data lost in their forum.
or maybe they deleted those post, i dunno,
lol

but from wat i see, it seems like the hosting owner are not really serious about his web hosting service. coz the server owner himself hardly reply in his own forum

I know what RAID is and how it works. Are you referring to software raid? I can't imagine how hardware raid can rebuild the array from the OS.

Could be he is busy fixing things. :idea:

And just who does he have to explain to? Are you hosted there?

I'd think they'd post a notice to the same forum they advertise on, such as this one.

It turns out also they're (wavering) in my spread of surveyed hosts which studies data beyond the host-produced ads.

Why hasnt he explained the situation? I would think that if a host was hacked, that owner would say something about it.

This bothers me for a related reason. By now he's got his basic page restored. It takes only 1.6 minutes to blast out an "I'm Sorry" message. Normally we suffer from an overdose of marketing-speak damage-spin, so the total absence of communication is exactly the kind of thing I set out to investigate.

Currently they're scheduled for removal on my next spread update. It's slated for about February, so they get a month of inertia until then.

Even mirrored RAID is not a true backup. A true backup stores the data on a separate system. Mirrored RAID levels cannot be truly considered separate systems from the primary data source.

As TSO said RAID is only for harddrive failure protection [in a backup sense]

The only REAL backup is on a separate system preferably in a different location i.e. Main server in Dallas TX backup server in Atl GA
