Hey guys,
I'm sure you noticed the extended unannounced downtime recently. It started with one of our HDDs going haywire and wildly deleting files, so we had to reinstall the Servers - we have weekly backups, so not much was lost.
During the reinstall I figured that if I'm reinstalling, I might as well do it the right way this time instead of some monster of filesystems. This paid off in boot times (< 2 seconds) and in speed - but had some unexpected side effects.
As you all know, the old Sirius Online code is Windows only so that means getting a Windows VM running or having WINE run the Server. Option A was out of the question, so option B was left - which required either VNC or RDP, both of which refused to run for weeks on end. After much recompiling, swearing, more recompiling and Pokemon GO the Server is back online.
And all I had to do was reboot twice. This entire thing is a perfect example for "did you try turning it off and on again?"...
