Couple hours ago we had server 8 virtfs failure.
We did not had enough time to investigate whether it ewas a hack or something else, but to fix everything in timely manner we had to plug in a clean harddrive with OS and restore useres data, because old system did not botted up after numerous attempts to start it manually.
Currently we are at 79% od restore script. Hope everything will go smoothy after restore.
Thank you for your patience and happy New Year.

We have restored all services except httpd.
httpd requires about 30-40 minutes to compile.
If everything is up http should be avaliable in about 15-20 minutes.

As for now we have completed all upgrades and custom configurations required by our customers. In case you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact our support.
Today we had a time to investigate old instalation and finally found out that it was HDD failutre. Initially we guessed that it was a hack since system did not wwant to get up issuing error about init system, a favorite place of all hackers to integrate their backdors. But after checking hdd for badblocks we found a serie of badblocks on the virtual filesystem causing all important commands not to work.
Anyway everything is finally fixed.
Happy New Year.
