Subject:   Server disk trashed

Oh well, had to happen, os2site dot com, os2 dot org dot au and all the other sites
I host went down lastnight for about 30-40 minutes, dsync for some
mysterious reason wrote its log file to my boot partitions file table :-(
Only figured that bit out this morning.

The 30-40 minutes of being down was due to me having dinner, once
I noticed it, I only had to copy startup.server3 to startup.cmd, 
setup.server3 to setup.cmd, and ibmlan.server3 to ibmlan.ini and
reboot the DEC PC.

Arent I glad I keep backups, and the email is stored on a different drive :-)

So the Pentium 3 is retired until I re-image C drive, and everythings
running on an old Digital Equipment Corp Pentium 200 PC , which
is my backup server :-)

I dont think anyone in the outside world will really notice the difference,
not like I'm running Windows or anything.

Cheers

Sorry to hear of the problems Ian, but as you say - it's still amazing 
how little power OS/2 need to serve the internet !
