Author Topic: M6 forums out of disk space (Read 42860 times)

Well guys, it looks like the M6 forum server is out of disk space:

>>>
Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.ADODB' or one of its dependencies. There is not enough space on the disk.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070070)
<<<

I was on the forums about an hour ago, so it looks like it just happened...whom do we notify about this?

Martin and radu there the admins.

One hell of a christmas gift...

Yeah, it's even more frustrating because a "disk full" error is easily preventible. I'm hoping that Radu can delete some
old (unnecessary) files to free up some disk space -- otherwise we'll have to wait until an admin at the M6 server site
adds another hard drive...

That'll be in about 3 years, then. Nice knowing you all

I know that it doesn't take too much disk space, but what about that profiles that were created years ago with not a single
post until today?

I hope that happens because I made a profile but the email that they send with the pasword once you register didn't
arrive so now my profile doesn't work. The email has to arrive and I have to click on the link to validate my password
but it never arrived.

Maybe the 2007 version upload ran out of space?

Best cleanup method would be to convert all those uncompressed images and high quality JPGs to medium quality JPG - or delete
all images older than {insert reasonable timespan here} months.

What images are you talking about?

Simonpro · Reply #11 - 26 December 2006, 16:51:34

notebook: it's still 2006, and the downloads for Orbiter are hosted in a different physical location to the forum.
sunhillow: images aren't stored on the server, they're stored wherever the user puts 'em (which, in most
circumstances, isn't on m6).

computerex · Reply #12 - 26 December 2006, 18:44:41

Yeah...the images people post take as much space as a single line of text would.

DanSteph · Reply #13 - 26 December 2006, 18:48:49

It seem it's the forum database that ran out of space, only text of post and index and setting of forum.

Yes, I've had this problem the whole day too.
I have informed the administrators Radu and Martin, for the case they haven't noticed the problem yet.

Well, its christmas...a good time for such problems

I think they only need to delete some log files, and they are back into business.

HA! The day after my own computer dies! What a Christmas indeed.

Well folks, the problem is back with a vengeance:

>>>

disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070070)
<<<

At least Dan's forum here is still up.
