"In any event, here's where things are:
the scoop right now is that a strategy has been formed - the data recovery service will attempt a deep read of the broken disks to generate a copy on fresh disks -- the idea being to get the data onto drives that do not generate SMART errors and freak out the controller."
"If we can get to that point, a pair of the drives will be reconnected in the interest of allowing the controller to correct the logical errors present and rebuild one of the mirrors. If that fails, the same operation will be tried on the other pair. If both fails, we're looking at having to pay to have the raid manually rebuilt, which is when it gets really expensive."
"As of this moment, we're working through getting the statement of work/invoice accurate (there has been a little confusion as to where the new drives were to come from, and they were attempting to charge us for these). The hosting company will be providing the drives. That's the other thing happening right now, is the related logistics of getting the new drives."
"For the record, concerning finances:
We have been carrying about a 3000$ surplus, since about forever. Since the crash, increased one-time donations had us at about 4000$ surplus, last time I checked the balance (been a few weeks). This will comfortably cover the cloning operation, and should it work out, we'll be in good shape. We'll probably need a bit more if we have to have the array manually rebuilt."
"Concerning allocation of OSgrid funds:
They're all but about 300$ in one PayPal account.
The 300$ is in the bank account which keeps the PayPal account open
Not one red cent has ever gone to a manager, an officer, a board member, an administrator or operator of OSgrid or the developers of OpenSim.
Every penny has gone to paying for the hardware and bandwidth to operate the grid." "
