OpenSUSE Struggles with Hardware Problems
Due to a breakdown in storage array, some openSUSE servers were unavailable yesterday, including download.opensuse.org.
Although problems continue, openSUSE does now have some minimalistic package sources in place that will at least enable the transfer of security updates. According to a post by Peter Poeml on the openSUSE Factory List, repairs can take some days.
The openSUSE Project has suffered continual hardware problems and download.opensuse.org, for example, still suffers from a shortage of disk space, which is the reason for the lack of backup data. The project is keen to find sponsors for a new/second storage array.
