OSgrid enters immediate long-term maintenance
- OSgrid has entered emergency long-term maintenance after discovering that all IAR files have been corrupted.
- This has led to an indefinite closure of OSgrid, affecting residents who did not back up their inventories before the scheduled March 21 database reset.
- The grid administrators plan to rebuild the asset system from scratch due to the corruption issue, impacting users who may face permanent losses.
- The reconstruction process is described as lengthy and meticulous with no specific reopening date provided, contrasting the previous March 28 timeline.
- OSgrid users who were planning backups or using the grid's IAR export tool will no longer have access to their content due to the sudden closure.
- This closure accelerates migration pressure on other OpenSim grids as users seek alternative platforms to continue their virtual presence.
- Kitely CEO warns about the importance of maintaining daily backups to avoid data loss, emphasizing the need for robust backup policies as grids grow in popularity.
- OSgrid's history of challenges includes a previous extended outage in 2014-2015, but the current situation necessitates a complete rebuild of the asset system.
- As one of the largest hypergrid-enabled virtual worlds, OSgrid's absence will have a significant impact on the OpenSim ecosystem.
- Other grids like Wolf Territories, Kitely, and Alternate Metaverse have offered assistance to displaced OSgrid residents in the past.
