A death in the (hardware) family

11 Oct 2024

Looks like we had a death in the family yesterday 😢

My really old HP ProLiant MicroServer looks to have suffered either a fatal IO bus problem, or hard drive failure 🪦

I’m thinking IO bus more than HDD (yes, it is an HDD in there) because the whole server either freezes or reboots whenever it tries to read data....
