ender Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 after restoration we need to wait another 2-6 hours for file system check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasfloyd Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I like mdd they have been pretty reliable. But this is a disaster . I have 3 clients on this server. One of which is a nightmare. Whoever has caused this should be banned from the server. I hope this gets sorted very soon. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 after restoration we need to wait another 2-6 hours for file system check?A file system check is indeed required, it could be as quick as 30 minutes or as slow as 6 hours. I wish I could give a more accurate ETA but there is simply no way to do that. I like mdd they have been pretty reliable. But this is a disaster . I have 3 clients on this server.

That alone should provide some scale of how uncontrollable and undefended these attacks can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanz Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Goodmorning Mike, do you have an estimate of the time left for the file system check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Update at 6:28 AM GMT-5:The file system check completed and due to the repairs done we're running an additional file system check to ensure that once the server comes back online that it is stable and doesn't have to be taken back offline for another file system check later today or in the near future. The first check took approximately 50 minutes and we estimate the second check will take approximately the same amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael D. Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 It's time to counting down.... The server has checked out ok, I watched the file system check and only a few cache files (like for WordPress with SuperCache) were damaged and, as such, removed. All system files appear to be OK. We do have some DNS updates to make for accounts that were affected by the DDoS before the file system issues occurred so some sites may show a cPanel default page for an hour or two.

Michael D. Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Keep in mind, due to the server having just booted up, that it's likely going to be slow/sluggish for at least 10 to 20 minutes. It's got to load caches into RAM and do a lot of very I/O intensive things to get to where it's at the point of being stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
