The rumor is that there's a HDD failure.

The rumor is that grex sucks even more with the upgrade and crappy
interfaces.

What is being done about M-Net's hard drive failure, and who is doing it?

(I started up a fresh off-season baseball item in the Grex sports
conference for the interregnum, and fans of the lesser sports :-)
might want to start similar items to tide us over. I do intend
to move back to the M-net sports conference when that becomes
possible.)

I thought m-net was running as a VM in tonster's farm.

Sorry guys, didn't realize this item was here. We're unsure of m-net's
current status right now. We were attempting to do some upgrades of the
OS when we rebooted m-net. The first time it rebooted, it took a very
long time to come back, but eventually it did. We saw some HDD errors
at that point on one of the drives in the mirror. It was rebooted again
some time later, and it's been down since. I'm working on getting it
from the colo it's housed in in Southfield, but I got busy last week and
was unable to make it. I'm waiting to hear back on when someone can
meet me at the DC to pick it up, hopefully this weekend. Once I've got
it, I'll spin it up and see if anything is left.
I should know more in a couple days.

I appreciate the update, Tony. I hadn't heard anything until yesterday,
when I remembered this conference, and had wondered if we'd seen the last
of M-Net.
re resp:6: You've spoken of The Void recently, and now of the lesser
sports. How heartwarming!

Are there any new updates?
I'm really missing the sports conference...

Been having trouble getting in contact with the colo provider. I've got
an appointment to pick up m-net tonight. Hopefully I'll have some info
this evening.

I picked up M-Net tonight. I'm working on it now. It's
behaving...oddly, but all in all I think everything is intact.
Hopefully I'll have it booted to something that can actually read the
drives soon so I can at least make a copy of the data.

Behaving oddly? What was it doing, Tony?

I think the drives might be failing or possibly the bus has just always
been this slow. Even the BIOS seems slow. Anyway, I've managed to fix
what was broken and it's almost ready to come up. I'll probably bring
it back online from my house tomorrow sometime. Need to change it's IP
for now.

was the reboot due to hardware or is the new build unstable?

Well, the reboot was either cross doing upgrades, or my 2 year old
daughter pulling out the plug... :/
