so yeah, i lost my entire website like 60 days ago due to hdd failure on my KVM node. Luckily I had spare hardware and was able to replace and get system back online and everything installed again.
I’ve since purchased an SSD to upgrade and move all KVM’s over however I need a reason to take it down and move it all over to SSD. Right now the hdd is working perfectly fine so reluctant to pull it down and cause outages to my home LAN.
OpenWRT has also been a problem causing some serious outages. Having been successful on installing it on my fritzbox 7530 after a few weeks configuration decided to block the LAN traffic to the OpenWRT web interface. I was unable to gain access and decided to flash the router again with OpenWRT and restore a working backup & configuration. It went well, then upon reboot it decided it wasn’t coming back up. After 6hrs of trying I gave up and went to work, then found a tutorial on how to force flash and since then OpenWRT has been running fine.
I’ll be blogging more often now I promise
