Better check on a new Mr. Fusion while we're at it.
Seriously, deep breaths Clarity. I imagine this has you running the whole range of emotions at the moment.

Don't have much more to add.
We're only running right now because someone was nice enough to host our database on his own machine. Something is wrong with our box, and when it crashes, it's corrupting the databases.
We have more downtime ahead. They're going to take out 2 sticks of ram, see if the machine craps out. If it does, switch the other 2 in, try again.
If it's the ram, then I need to just order more and have it sent there for them to plug it in. If it's not, then more troubleshooting (and billable hours) to figure it out.
This blows.

Damn C. How much RAM are we talking (and cost). Might be cheaper to simply buy the RAM and have it switched out. Doubtful, but possible.

I said the same thing, but they pointed out that it may not be the ram at all, in which case we've saved nothing, and still have work ahead. :(

Best course of action is to find out just WTF the problem is and then fix it...no sense throwing money at the unknown. We had a older Sun server a few months back that kept having intermittent lock-ups and it end up being some deteriorating RAM, but this case looks different (crashes corrupting the database itself)...sounds more like a RAID problem (bad drive(s) and/or controller).

Sadly, we're throwing money around either way. Obviously I'm doing everything I can to minimize the cost, and all the people we're working with are truly outstanding and generous on that front in terms of making sure everything is efficient and minimal.

Well, I'm pretty sure that whatever the financial cost to get things back up 100% will be covered by folks here...

We've run (are running) our drive, and I have no reason at the moment to believe that we've already done everything we need to keep BP chugging along. So much thanks to everyone who has given, and everyone who has helped motivate and organize. Your dollars are literally why there is effort going towards fixing our machine, and why we're online at the moment.
