Free tip to anyone running a fairly minimalistic server, having issues where SMDB (Samba) is silently failing to start. You need to install CUPS even if you don't have and never intend to have printers in your network. Headache of the day for me, and not one google hit pointed towards the solution - thus this post.

Hey now!
Finally some good news. I have migrated to the new server platform, so no more unavailability and crashing databases. There will, as per usual, be a number of things broken, but I'm working on getting everything back the way it was.
Sorry about the extensive downtimes!

It's a hard drive crash, plain and simple. I'm switching to an SSD but I will coincide this with a complete system rebuild in 2 weeks. The server may crash completely before this time.
If that happens, I will point the site to a parking page informing of the situation. Full correction to the situation is still pending, like I said - 2 weeks.

Hey y'all, the server has been just a tad unstable lately. Databases crashing, networks dropping... Not too healthy. If you get an error about a missing database, try to refresh once or twice. If it still fails, I need to resurrect it which might take a few hours if I'm not at home. But I'm not gone, so don't you forget about me...
I'll likely do some upgrading in about a month's time that should fix all this instability. Meanwhile, bear with me.
