Disroot1 has just reported a major hardware failure on their storage server that affects all of their services:

We are in the process of rebuilding, which will take quite some time. [..] We are really sorry for this situation and we will do our best to solve it as soon as possible. (The Disroot Team)

Affected services

* Email
  * access: temporary storage for incoming emails only
* Nextcloud
  * files feature has been disabled
* Cryptpad, PrivateBin, Lufi, Forgejo
 * all Disabled

Monero Observer email and XMPP communications2 are directly impacted by this incident: incoming emails will be received in the temporary storage, but the main inbox is currently inaccessible.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.

Update 26/10/27: service will be down for an ‘extra day or so’ - data may be ‘totally corrupt’; status page available3; please send messages to the new Monero Observer email address.

Update 26/10/29: reportedly ‘one confirmed repeated unreadable sector which makes the file system repair a bit tricky’ was detected, according to a storage issue update from Disroot.
