Resolved

  • 2010-10-21 07:04:00 - Site is offline. We're researching the issue.
  • 2010-10-21 07:18:00 - Lost a switch, which cascaded into fileserver failures. New switch is almost ready and we're bringing file servers back up.\r\n\r\nUPDATE: This was largely inaccurate. Apologies. -Ryan
  • 2010-10-21 07:50:00 - And we're back.\r\n\r\nThe root cause was a long-running database query blocking all other connections, which cascaded into issues across a large number of other servers. Blog post with more detail forthcoming.
