    Hello MineYourMind Community,

    as you probably noticed did we have quite some difficulties with network up time recently. During the last few weeks there had been 4 network wide outages.
    Unfortunately we are not able to give you good news that it is resolved. To give you an idea of the issue here is the setup explained.

    In order for optimal up time we have our database spread across multiple servers. This means if one of the servers goes down the others can continue without downtime. The recent issues here are that for some reason the entire cluster (all connected database nodes) are freezing. This freeze is happening without any error reports or information we could use in the search of a solution.
    Therefor we are only left with trying to find out what change caused this. As this cluster had been running fine for months.

    But it is now time to set an ultimatum. Meaning if we can't resolve this issue this year with the next two freezes, we are giving up and revert to a simple single instance setup for the time being.
    I hope this gives you a good understanding of what is going on.

    I wish you all a great merry Christmas and a solution to this issue - as present- for us all :)

    You could switch the AC to warm up the room where the servers are, so they don't freeze :)

    maybe a little WD40 applied to it, then some strong bourban and a fine cigar while you play smooth jazz to relax the cluster's nerves.

    based off what your saying and after watching 50+ hours of tech vids on youtube what most likely is happening is a raid is failing or something or your hardware is takeing a hit from 1.10.2 forge servers

    Should've stuck with the gerbil story. So much more believable than this talk about some sort of database issue. I'm asking Santa for some new gerbils for Christmas.
