Filecrunch Blog

Hi all,

The site ownership has changed as of May 4th.  I hope to make Filecrunch.com an even better site that services your needs.
Unfortunately, on May 5th the main file server had a problem with the RAID controller failing.  This caused the storage to become “read only” and the webserver to crash.  We cannot restart at this point.  We have to move to a new machine, which should hopefully be constructed and put online tomorrow.  The good news is that the machine will be much more powerful and should be able to serve more files at a higher rate.

I am sorry about this problem, I know many of you have files on this server.  I’ve owned the site for only a couple of days, so I am working as fast as I can to get the site up and stabilized.  In the future we will have a failover system in case something like this happens again.  Gan built a really good site and community, and I hope to continue his success.

Thanks for your patience.
