Hard Drive Fail

Server hard drive failed - don't forget to back up /etc and apt package lists along with your data.

The hard drive in my server failed in a nasty way. So things may be slightly broken for a few more days, while I fix up things one by one.

Lessons learned: while backing up your data stuff is important (/var/www, /opt, etc...) DON'T forget to back up things like /etc and the list of the installed apt packages.

So please, be patient.
