Almost a week and no response from any of the agencies contacted. Still rings to spam/scam phone number.

But seriously, my money is on the odds that the number was slammed.
If so, you'd expect there to be some record of the government announcing not to call it.
No more - I would expect the government to use eminent domain to demand it turned over to them.. but surprisingly, they haven't even don that..
As of right now, we aren't even sure they know. Scott and I have both tried to report this and so far... crickets.
That's the biggest issue - I'm sure it's been reported.. but whoever received the reports didn't know what to do with the information.
CCWTech even sent it to Trump!
LOL - just wow.
LOL, yeah, I'm sure I'll have 12 angry men in black pajamas kicking down my door any day!

Shut the system down pull the failed drive and the hot spare turn it back on. You should be up and running on a degraded RAID array
We are terrified to turn the system off at this point.
I am guessing no backups? Is the system available at all?
System is currently available. In theory there are backups, but no capacity to test them and they are across the country. This isn't a managed customer, so we have no documentation, no visibility, no access. We just have to trust that they say that there are backups. But they confused their UPS with their NAS calling both their "backup" so we have literally no clue what they do and do not have.
I'd burn a couple of billable hours at least doing some investigation into their things using Mesh Commander. That way you have a better idea of where they are on the we're screwed o'meter.
That'd be great. But their CIO doesn't like us doing anything.
Then why are you still helping them?
At this point we are not.
We have made our recommendations and it's up to them.
If they choose to disregard our advise, it's at their own peril and we will watch it burn. That's not of course what we want to happen, but the manager has chosen to be the CIO even though she is not competent to do so.

It's even worse than that. CIO wants us to make the current situation work for 2-3 more years without spending any money.
CIO is completely out of touch with reality, Intentionally ignoring our advice and is allowing a meltdown to happen.

RE: How to Stop an Ongoing RAID Rebuild HP P420i RAID Controller
@scottalanmiller I just checked this morning. Still at 6% / 100%. No progress on the rebuild. Stuck in a loop, or just simply stuck and still a de facto RAID 0 right now.

@scottalanmiller Yeah, he wasn't helpful at all. Wanted to know if I wanted to buy a home security system.

@CCWTech It says it's for ADT security once you actually get a live person.
Oddly enough they refused to help with my questions about vaccinations required.

Just checked my older passport and it has the same fake phone number in it.
Presumably it once was a good phone number and may have not gotten 'renewed'.
Although if it ever was valid, why doesn't it bring up any SEO results?
