MySQL InnoDB corrupted

Publicado el domingo 23 octubre 2011, a 17:14 UTC

MySQL managed to corrupt its InnoDB database, we are trying to fix that now, meanwhile all MySQL databases are down.

Edit: We managed to dump all databases except one and to do a raw copy of all data. We are currently reimporting all databases from dump to a fresh InnoDB base.

Edit: Here we are, everything is back online, contact us if your database is not successfully back up.

Work on several servers this night

This night, we are going to clear hardware notice from our servers. One told us to replace its power supply, some need the CMOS/NVRAM battery to be replaced, and the one which hosted the VHFFS database need new hard drives.

Edit: Done!

Git User's Survey 2011

Publicado el lunes 19 septiembre 2011, a 18:11 UTC

Yup, sometimes there is news for something other than services outages!

We were kindly asked to announce that the Git User's Survey 2011 is now up!

Please devote a few minutes of your time to fill out the simple questionnaire; it'll help the Git community understand your needs, what you like about Git (and what you don't), and overall help us improve it.

The survey will be open from 5 September to 3 October 2011.

The results will be published at GitSurvey2011.

Oh wait!, kernel.org is down at the moment. Ok, it'll probably be back up at 3 October but we are talking again about a service outage there, what a mishap...

Partial power outage

Publicado el jueves 18 agosto 2011, a 13:58 UTC

In the early morning (05:02 UTC) we lost one of our power feeds. Luckily the only host impacted was the temporary VHFFS database host, which is now used due to the hard drives incident on the former host.

Everything is back online and impacted services were obviously Primary mail (smtp,pop,imap,webmail,mailing lists…), Primary DNS, and Jabber.
