| schestowitz | Looking at the error messages from the log file/output, it seemed like the old certificate was still being used. I then saw that the openvpn config file was still pointing at the old one. Not only the old cert but also the old key. | Aug 07 08:41 |

| schestowitz | There's the script which grows the partition as time goes by and this time it hit a hard limit, so not enough space was left for data to be copied in. We escalated this, knowing extra fees would be associated and need to be discussed at a higher level. | Aug 07 21:08 |
| schestowitz | I previously gave a rough estimate of how much, assuming current growth rate (customers, feeds, feed messages volume), things expand year-to-year. | Aug 07 21:08 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 07 21:09 |
| schestowitz | "I am thinking, it might be cheaper to 'offload' the data from the server, in its current form, to external disks every 6 months? That depends on the costs and complexity of such a process (each time it's done). A lot of this data doesn't need to be on a 'live' machine, so retention cycles can be shortened perhaps (to keep costs down)." | Aug 07 21:09 |
| schestowitz | "At the moment archives on the server hold almost 1.7 TB in size. 4 TB drives are nowadays not so expensive (maybe less than 140 pounds) and can store that twice over, so perhaps there's room for drive reuse or 'resend'. I personally recommend keeping two such drives for redundancy in case one shows signs of degradation (then a third one can be purchased to be accommodated with the contents of the non-damaged first)." | Aug 07 21:09 |
