+title: RAID change; reboot
+author: fosslinux

+
+yesterday/today, depending on your timezone, ~team rebooted.
+this was in order for ~ben to change the raid config. 
+
+as some of you may have noticed, we had been running out of disk space.
+the raid config was raid 1 between two disks, however, a poll on the mailing
+list found that the ~teamverse would prefer to have raid 0 with more disk
+space as opposed to the small redundancy raid 1 gives.
+
+we already have hourly backups, so if one disk goes down, we just need to
+wait for hetzner to replace the disk and restore the backup. while raid 0
+means more downtime if one disk goes down, we have far more space.
+
+there were a few issues, but they have been ironed out. any processes you were
+running will now be stopped and you will have to reconnect back to irc if you
+had your irc client running on ~team. thelounge should have automatically
+reconnected.
+
+if there's any further issues, let ~ben know on irc or at <ben at ttm dot sh>.
+
+once again, thanks to ~ben for the work he does maintaining ~team!
