Life without fluffiness is just so incredibly... Being a (typical) furry IT tech... I fully understand the pains the FA Staff are going through.
Happy they found a solution, such is the fun of file systems!
A light TL:DR of the main journal:
FA was expanding their data storage servers to accommodate the expanding users in FA. And when they brought the site back online, the Servers which handle showing your web browser the website had difficulties accessing parts of the data server. This was caused by an error in the way FA mounts the remote files to the web servers.
Gotta love unexpected problems! :D

(Yay my IT brain as well)
The issue happened with the web servers mounting the remote file system (NFS), and there was some unforseen errors.
It's okay, it's not like the time I accidentally nuked my personal Cloud server, x3
As for you cloud server.... F
My 740xd hasn't failed me yet XD
I got the server back online easy enough, was just hilarious, x3
And at least a happy ending for your server. I'd be beside myself if I lost my 400TB of storage
The main storage was fine, thankfully that has been solid since 2016, :3
And VMs with snapshots are my goto. That 740xd is my ESXi powerhouse
Runs amazingly. Only had 1 issue where the boot USB died on me, that was a panic, x3
But overall, the system works great. Wish I had more storage though, can never have too much x3
USB boot? That's why you make backups (Or truenas method... raid 1 the USB drives
More storage is always nice!. That r740xd..... 26x 1.92TB SSD drives , then 2x 8 bay Synologies with 16TB drives in SHR 1 (Raid 5 equivalent)
