Sometime Early Friday, November 17th we suffered some kind of catastrophic multi-disk or SCSI backplane failure accompanied with filesystem corruption in cvs.fedora.redhat.com. Thanks to volunteer efforts of Fedora Infrastructure and tremendous help from Red Hat IS/IT, we are now nearing restoration of cvs.fedora.redhat.com from a backup on a powerful new server graciously donated by Dell. We are restoring from a backup that began November 16th, 2006 at 8:01PM MST (Friday, November 17, 2006 at 03:01) and finished 100 minutes later. Because this backup is not an exact snapshot, it is possible that checkins that happened after 8:01PM are already in the restored data. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2006-November/date.html We require your help to verify that all checkins are properly in /cvs/extras and everything generally is working as expected. Please pay careful attention to everything that changed in November 16th and 17th according to the mailing list archive. My personal records indicate that no CVS imports happened after this backup, so we are fine in that regard. PACKAGE OWNERS - especially kevin, corsepiu, remi and qspencer are to verify and fix their own CVS modules, or explicitly identify someone else to do it on their behalf. EVERYONE ELSE - please keep an eye on CVS. SCREAM LOUDLY on fedora-extras-list if you see anything that is wrong. Sorry about any inconvenience or disruption that this unexpected problem may have caused. Everyone owes a beer to the Fedora Infrastructure and Red Hat IS/IT teams. =) Thank you for supporting the Fedora Project.
