  34 <PRE>When I removed the oper.db file (I actually renamed it) but I removed it,
  35 services generated a new one, however this resulted in all databases being
  36 lost. Apparently when oper.db was removed per se, services lost all
  37 registered channels, nicks, admins, everything. Is this expected for just
  38 the removing of oper.db? I thought the other dbs would not be effected by
  39 this.

  49 &gt;<i>     Services is designed to not overwrite database files until the new
  50 </I>&gt;<i> copies have been safely written to disk; this looks more like a case of
  51 </I>&gt;<i> filesystem corruption at the OS level, probably due to the write cache not
  52 </I>&gt;<i> being written out to disk when the system restarted.  You'll have to
  53 </I>&gt;<i> either
  54 </I>&gt;<i> restore from a backup or remove the corrupt files (e.g. &quot;rm oper.db&quot;).

  60 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>My server box itself rebooted of some fatal error that apache caused, and
  61 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>naturally ircservices was not shutdown properly, nor was much of anything
  62 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>else. My services have run stable for at least 5 years now, according to
  63 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>my
  64 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>log which is proof of that, I haven't even had to use the log which is
  65 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>definitely apparent. However, I now have the problem that services is not
  66 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>loading anymore.
