got some maintenance done on the servers tonight.

i discovered that a missing disk was actually a malfunctioning disk controller, so i was unable to fix it. i’m wondering if i should replace the machine with something more readily available.

i also replaced some fans in the backups machine. of course the chassis uses these weird fans i’d never seen before. i rigged together two fans that added up to the right size and glued them together. hopefully it will last.. stuff like this makes it difficult to run real servers on your own without a support contract.

on the bright size, i was able to bump the web/sql server and the backups machine up to 2gb ram each.. and it was nice to give everything a fresh reboot all at once.
