This is what happened :
AVSIM
22 juillet, 11:04 ยท

Update: AVSIM identified a failed hard drive and a hard drive that was beginning a downward spiral early this month. We ordered a new storage area network to replace the aging storage infrastructure hoping the dwindling drive holding up the RAID would work until our new installation this Saturday. Unfortunately, we experienced a second drive failure early this morning which put our site offline.

The good news is everything is backed up and retrievable. We won't be able to recover it until our new system is set up on Saturday. AVSIM will be offline until that time.

Today :
AVSIM
9 h

Update: AVSIM technician will be at the collocation today to install replacement hard drive which will bring AVSIM back online. More details below.

Root cause of failure: Two failed hard drives (out of 5) on the RAID.

Fault category: Aging hard drives.

Corrective Action: Immediately replace one of the two failed hard drives to bring RAID back online. Install new Dell Storage Area Network to replace aging drives. Begin transferring all data to Dell Storage Area Network (site won't be affected). Aging RAID will no longer be primary to the functionality of AVSIM.

Their founder, Tom Allensworth, recently passed away also. I wasn't sure if the site would even continue but if Yoland's information is correct it looks like they are trying.
