A RAID (disk) error was detected this morning on the Hermes server and, as such, we are running a consistency check on the array to ensure that this error does not turn into data loss or downtime. The consistency check is very intensive and will cause the server to respond sluggishly, however we feel that an hour to an hour and a half of slowness is much better than potentially hours of downtime due to hardware failure and data restoration from backups.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. As of this writing the disk check is 67% done after 62 minutes of running so we estimate it to take no longer than about 35 to 55 minutes from now.

If you have any questions, do let us know.

The check is 92% completed at 83 minutes.

Completed without error.
