Posts disappear from the forums

I have noticed that posts disappear from the forums. At least the following topic is concerned, with at least two missing messages (both posted on 2017-02-27): https://www.openhub.net/topics/14013

Hi Vincent;

Thanks for the notice. It takes a very deliberate action to delete a post. That said, there are indeed no posts dated 2017-02-27 for forum 14013.

One possible explanation for the data loss is that this was due to the catastrophic data loss in early March. The scenario is this:

  • We start the backup on Feb 27. Any transactions made after the start of the backup are not part of the backup.
  • The posts were made to the forum
  • On Thursday, March 2, we start the PG upgrade and loose all the data
  • We restore from the backup, which does not have the posts

All that being said; is there something that we can address or have we addressed the issues with the new HTTPS based enlistment?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the explanations. The new https based enlistment seems OK, but there hadn't been any update for almost two months (data last collected on March 9), though the GNU MPFR project is very active. I did a post earlier today: https://www.openhub.net/topics/14307

Regards,

Vincent.
