Keep it going, do as much as you can so I can see and post more content occasionally.

Digimon gif spotted! Also fantastic!

Thanks for the update.

yay!

We thought about it!

Half way there? Nice! If this keeps up, we should have the site all back to normal in a day or two.

Awesome update. Also, adorable gif haha

UNBAN MY F**KING ACCOUNT!!

😩😩😩😩

It came back on hours ago, I understand that they're still working on the site, I'd was already dealing with having to take my computer to the Shop after I'd crashed it Last weekend long story, managed to get it fixed.

It hasn't truly been back up yet, they just restored it partially in read-only mode so at least there was something. They are working on it.

Loving those little Progress updates, keep up the good work!

...are they using ceph block storage to hold another filesystem and then serve that over NFS?

already ? thats awesome! (i have no idea im just happy for the big number xD)

Once this happens, you can't simply go through and reclaim all those unused ID numbers. The good news is that the fix is simple: Create a new, clean, filesystem to put everything on and move the files there. The bad news is that FA has a _LOT_ of data to move when doing this.

Summarizing and possibly not explained usper well: They're moving every piece uploaded to the site into a new storage partition. So to avoid things getting messy and another error of "hold up, the data supposed to be here and the data being received don't match" they're keeping uploads off for now.

Yeah, FurAffinity is such a good website, I hope it will soon come back with 100% of his functionality. I also hope devs would have a public API for getting posts information

I'm glad you're letting us in on the more technical details

Super glad to hear it’s going well. I was really worried that it was gonna be something really bad prior to the announcement!

I wish this didn't sound accusatory, but I'm genuinely curious on the mechanics for the copy. Like, ext4 on a PCIe 5 x16 four way RAID 0 over 4 NVMe drives would take hardly any time. BTRFS RAID-1 with 4x consensus on 4x20TB+ HDDs across a gigabit link mounted over NFS could take ages.

So goods to hear! <3

Been a member of furaffinity for years and this is the first times I've experienced something like this for your site and I appreciate everything you all are doing and how transparent you're being

Ty for letting us know! We appreciate all ur doing

still not sure how a twenty minute maintenance turned in to 3 days of not being able to use the site.

Well, more "old storage that was confused about how many files there are."

Oh digimon the movie! The OG movie right? I heard they made a new one...

But you also risk it heading off to get fatal error, I tried xD

Thank you so much for your hardwork! ❤️❤️❤️ *sends rays of strength and strong nerves*

You got this guys!

surely you guys must be cloese to be done by now?. can we at least please get a new update how far you guys are at now?

yay!

Thanks for the update. Here's hoping it all goes smoothly!

Thank you all for your hard work! 🫂

A notification for it would have been on every FA page you visited until you manually dismissed it and it's still the first journal on the main announcement/news account: www.furaffinity.net/journal/1112...

I'm impatient rather than suspicious. FA is an OLD website, and there's a lot of images to move over.
