More specifically, from what I have seen, the UFH emblem is not displaying...I'm assuming there are others, but that's the only one I've run across...

Not being directly involved, I don't have all the details, but based on Brandon's posts, I'm assuming the following:

1. The hard drive's internal SMART diagnostics determined there was a potential problem with the drive.
2. In running a full hard drive read/write diagnostic, it was determined that the drive was indeed failing.
3. The drive was then replaced, and based on the series of messages I got, I'm guessing RHEL was installed, then the "hosting software" package(cPanel, etc), and finally the backup of the previous HDD was restored.

Yep you got it all, Nate.

One more detail -- Brandon was going to wait until morning to turn the forums on, so he could double check everything (cd-media, ufh icons, etc.) but forgot the nightly backup would turn the forums on automatically. So he woke up to 4000+ emails showing SQL errors and server errors.

FUN TIMES.

minor issues .. everything went smooth. let me know if/when you find weird stuff. I'll be working on firstwiki later this afternoon.

Great job, it was a pleasure to wake up this morning to find the site back up
