Comments on: File server failure (Resolved) http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2006/10/17/file-server-failure/ Information about DreamHost Services Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:28:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7-RC1 hourly 1 By: BBR http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2006/10/17/file-server-failure/comment-page-2/#comment-3079 BBR Tue, 24 Oct 2006 11:33:33 +0000 http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2006/10/17/file-server-failure/#comment-3079 Boy, I'd hate to see how some of you people would have reacted if you'd been Managed.com customers. Managed sold its business to another firm, which then physically relocated all the servers from California to NJ... without warning anybody. Some sites were down for a WHOLE MONTH, even though the company said that all issues were resolved after the second day. To make matters worse, they mixed up the equipment, so some customers found themselves trying to conduct businesses with other people's data. A lot of stuff just ended up lost. A few people were able to recover their data when others posted messages saying, "Hey... what's this? It isn't mine! Anybody recognise it?" but most have lost their stuff forever... With that in mind, a few hours downtime doesn't seem so bad. Boy, I’d hate to see how some of you people would have reacted if you’d been Managed.com customers.

That means when you say "a file server" we have no idea which one, and that doesn't help anyone (unless it is a blanket for multiple issues...). If you name the specific one, not only do people know that you are working on it, they won't flood you with as many extra support tickets. My site is just blank right now. I can ssh and see the files, but it's not coming up with anything, but I have no idea whether this is related so I have to submit a ticket anyway. Someone whose site is down might assume that it is related to this and not send a ticket to save the staff some work, but that's just going to be more downtime for that person. Please be specific!
