pear.php.net is down / disk errors

Hi,


pear.php.net is down.

The server was really slow, even "sudo bash" or "top" gave me errors
most of the time.

/var/log/messages showed disk errors:
> kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
> kernel: ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x24
> kernel: ata1.00: cmd 25/00:08:ae:ce:fa/00:00:11:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma

The file systems were mounted read-only.

Backups of the rest data (released packages) were done every 4 hours to
the mirror servers (of which I have one, de.pear.php.net).

The last database backup was from 2015-03-05, which is long ago. I made
a copy of the files in /var/lib/mysql; we'll see what we can rescue.

Then I rebooted the box to see if it's really that bad, and it is. It's
not up again, and probably will not come up. I'm contacting EUKhost
support right now.

You can use a mirror; change your /etc/hosts file to map pear.php.net
to IP 5.35.241.22 (de.pear.php.net).

----

Using the "preferred_mirror" setting will NOT work as pear will still
try to download files from pear.php.net:

$ pear config-set preferred_mirror de.pear.php.net
$ pear install $package
Could not download from "http://pear.php.net/get/Net_Wifi-1.2.0.tgz",
cannot download "pear/net_wifi" (Connection to `pear.php.net:80' failed: Connection timed out)
Error: cannot download "pear/Net_Wifi"
