Never Again!
at least until the next time. I just completed the hairiest server migration of my life and I hope I never have to do that again. I had a drive failure, two switch failures (one on the old DC and one at the new), 1 NIC replacement and a slew of OS errors (I run CentOS 4.1).
In all, I moved all of the accounts on this server back and forth 5 times in 30 hours. 21.97 GB, five times, lol. On a good note though, most of my customers never knew any of this was going on. With some DNS trickery and some slick rsync usage, only one hostee, Michael Hanscom of Eclecticism
experienced any problems and we quickly cleared that up over AIM this morning.
If you do notice any oddities, please e-mail me.
