There is currently a huge problem with the Bulgarian Electronic Trade Register [0]. The register stopped working two weeks ago and is still not online [1].
It holds all company ownership data and a lot more. Right now there is no way to register a company in my country, as well as
making any changes to existing companies ( e.g. changing manager, shareholders, etc. ). It is one of the most important set of data for an EU country.
The original problem ( leaked by the government ) is that a 4 of the RAID5 disks broke down, but it is still a mystery why recovering the data takes more than 2 weeks.

- Aeolun 8y agoIt’s amazing that 4 R5 disks could break down in the first place. Apparently they had triple redundancy and STILL managed to make it fail. Though I bet it was just nobody ever checked if the disks were still working.
- raarts 8y agoWhat didn't help was that the backups were stored on the same LUN as the production database.
- noir_lord 8y agoOuch. There is a reason my backups are held on a separate machine in a separate building (and also on large external encrypted drives that leave site everyday). Sometimes you learn these the hard way.
