ok, so healthy doesnt necessarily mean fixed....
the server has been running pretty much unattended for over a year, and everything worked well until about a week ago.
see above, but the disk issues and file corruptions are all repaired. there is one nagging issue with the remote console, in that it sometimes crashes when connecting. tracking it down, but its tedious, since each piece works stand alone; i suspect it is some interaction with a recent software update.
so in the mean time i took the time to update the system files etc. so when its done it will work another year unattended!
hopefully this wont take too long. when its up it works fine, its just when i try to remote in that it crashes.
[edit] i took the time to do some extensive moving of the server files to make maintenance/management easier. Also added a new firewall to keep out the uninvited. let me know if i broke anything, or if anything doesnt work quite right, but it should be ok.
