Hello Gary,
This time we have setup new drive with GMT-0 timezone and you can see the same from your scripts. I can assure you that there wont be any problem with this server for at least next 1 year as we wont be adding any new customers to this server and security settings are perfect with the server. Hardware configurations get old in time of 2 - 3 years and its always recommended to upgrade hardware once the technology gets outdated.
Earlier we mentioned that it will take 3 hours for the OS to be reloaded on new drive and data restored but things went wrong when our system admins in the dtacenter lost 3 hours in getting the old drive to start working again by doing FSCK. I am pretty sure that many of you loose data in harddrive crash but you dont admire our ability to restore data from any type of harddrive failure.
We have expertise in Rsync backup / trasfer, mirroring and load balancing service and with help of this skills our team has managed to upgrade hardware of servers without any downtime. This time harddrive crashed and we could have managed to bring your
website hostings online with 1 week old backup but that would have created many problems for databases as the entries for 6 - 8 hours would have gone in 1 week old database and once server6.specialservers.com had come up, you would have lost the changes for those 6 - 8 hours.
You should see the differene in performance of your
website hostings after the OS reload as the server seems to be working very well now.
