File server issue in the frisky cluster
One of the file servers in the frisky cluster is having performance issues which is effecting a small number of frisky cluster web servers, causing higher loads and some apaches to respond slow. A file server admin is working on the issue now. We are working to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.
UPDATE 1:15pm (PST): We’ve corrected the problem with the file server not working correctly, but unfortunately it lost one of the drives and we’re in the process of rebuilding it. This means that there will be intermittent networking issues with the servers that mount this file server, so they’ll have higher than usual loads. This will also affect all of the mail servers in the cluster. If your server is one of the ones listed below, you may be having site or mail problems (or both). Once the drive rebuild has comepleted, these problems should subside. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you and we’re doing everything we can to get this fully resolved.

UPDATE 10:30am (PST) Mon Dec 10th: Sorry for the delay in updating this post, but this problem should have been resolved sometime during the night last night. By our calculations, the drive finished rebuilding some time late last night or very early this morning. All of the loads are back down to normal and several of the tests we ran seem to be going through fine now. If you continue to have problems with this though, please don’t hesitate to contact support about it.

Odd that it’s listed as “resolved” in the headline, but I’m impressed that the DH staff was working on it before I could get my support ticket in!
Eagerly awaiting resurrection of service!
December 9th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Super. It’s being resolved.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:08 am
How can I find out what cluster I’m in?
December 9th, 2007 at 10:11 am
@BJ:
Is your website responding? That’s a fairly clear indication if yours is working or not.
Other than that it’s in your account status at the panel.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Thx!
December 9th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Our status says our e-mail server is frisky - don’t know about the e-mail (we don’t use it much yet) but our SITE is down and it’s supposedly on trans-am. Trying to find out how to “write a ticket” on this - just moved to Dreamhost last week.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:13 am
No web response - last 12 hours bad bad email service. Just making sure it’s the noted cluster, not something else.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:25 am
Severity: Medium
Seems pretty severe when your one of the affected customers. Trying to do retail at the height of Christmas season and your paying for clicks that go nowhere.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Ah dang…I hope my members don’t leave. = \
December 9th, 2007 at 10:37 am
My client’s site is back up.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:41 am
My mail server is still down
December 9th, 2007 at 10:51 am
Our website is hosted on esprit, but our email is on frisky. We seem to be down with at least the website, though SOMETIMES it comes up. Anyone else got that problem?
December 9th, 2007 at 10:56 am
The file server is what holds the files for your website. A flakey file system will cause what you’re seeing. Your “server” is just the machine that provides the processing while the storage is centrally managed. Normally this works well as web servers can be replaced in 15-30 minutes without having to restore the files. File servers are actually clusters of machines with totally cool redundant hardware to protect the data. But if one machine is unreliable in the cluster you’ll end up with intermittent file access.
Kinda sucks when it happens.
December 9th, 2007 at 11:02 am
Aha! Had not considered the cluster aspect. Sort of like having a tone-deaf member of a volunteer chorus. When we get to the part for ol’ klunko, the sound is pretty bad.
Okay, waiting patiently. Don’t let me be a bother.
Of course, I stupidly sent out an email to our organization to tell them that their email was out. Time for coffee….
December 9th, 2007 at 11:02 am
My email is down. Is anyone else having a problem? I am never quite sure if its the email server or virus problems. Tx, Linda
December 9th, 2007 at 11:03 am
Duh - I thought today was Dec 10th and all of the above postings were from yesterday. I guess there are still outages. Linda
December 9th, 2007 at 11:10 am
Faster DH server monkeys! Faster!
j/k … but I sure would be grateful for a speedy recovery!
December 9th, 2007 at 11:20 am
It has been problems ALL WEEKEND. What are you guys doing?
December 9th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Coming on 4 hours…………………..
December 9th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
disappointing…
December 9th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
i can’t access ANY of my email addresses and it’s killing me.
December 9th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
hector has been up and down and slow the entire day…I wonder if it’s related.
December 9th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
me too and I posted my ticket around 10 this morning, been actually down for more than 6 hours now
December 9th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
How long will the drive rebuild take??
December 9th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Will our mail that is sent during downtime be lost and sent back to the original sender as could not be delivered? or will it be stored and available when the problem is fixed… does anyone know??
December 9th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
What happens to e-mails that we are receiving on servers that are down now or have been down most of the day ? are those e-mails lost or are they gone be recovered once the system is back online ?
December 9th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
WOW.. Laurent!! the exact same thought hit both of us at the exact same moment.. Pretty freaky….
December 9th, 2007 at 1:39 pm
pretty worrying actually, but quite funny
What is less funny is that I’m doing business with those e-mail accounts and I fricking need them !!!
December 9th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
All my site’s from hector are down .. .. please do something !
December 9th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
and as i can see they don’t say anything about hector but hector has problems! as Randall Says .. all day was down and up .. FTP is not working as usual .. big problems guys .. hope they will wont lose too many customers ..
December 9th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
Come on now.
‘Severity: Medium’ with all of those servers affected?
December 9th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I’m sure as hell moving away from Dreamhost. Every week it’s something new. I guess I will start migrating all my domains over to Media Temple asap. You idiots have more hardware fail than anyone else on the planet.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
One fucking drive goes and a shitload of services go down, nice planning.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
I have problems for days.
Ticket from 6 hours ago.
No answer.
I should have been disapointed in your way of handling things, but I’m not going to get mad because of you.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
For sure I like the way things are here, the service is usually pretty good but seriously 8 hours of downtime in the middle of the day for a drive that goes bad ???? And it’s rated as medium when the list of services affected is that long. That’s a serious issue and enough to get to ask yourself a few questions.
December 9th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
I am on the Frisky cluster, but that wasn’t posted as having problems. Rest assured that my mail has been down for 7 hours now. Unfortunately, today is the deadline for my students to send me their final exams. So I repeat the concern mentioned earlier, what happens to the email when the systems is down? LBW
December 9th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Let us know when she’s back up and runnin’
December 9th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
My sites and email have been down all day. The severity of this is “Medium”????
December 9th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
“Medium” is a slap in the face. Maybe to DH it’s medium because of the percentage of THEIR clients that are affected, but being a small business 100% of my clients are affected, including myself. Not to mention, right in the middle of THE shopping season. Overall, I’ve been very happy with DH. I think they have a good product and better pricing.
Here’s a thought: Since I will probably have to give out some discounts to appease my clients, I don’t think it would hurt DH to give us a free month, or domain registration/transfer, OR SOMETHING that won’t even come close to what I’ll have to fork over.
December 9th, 2007 at 3:10 pm
By the way…Eldorado and still not working. Submitted ticket 4 hours ago…Critical message posted in my control panel 1 hr 50 mins. ago?
December 9th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
This is ridiculous, the “official” downtime is now over five hours…
December 9th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Geez, I start to wonder if you guys will ever be ablet o fix that mess ???!!!?
December 9th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
It annoys me that Dreamhost don’t tell anyone why it’s taking so long.
I don’t care what the reason is. You can be having your 10th cup of coffee for all I care, but tell us why it’s taking so long and I won’t be as frustrated now that we’re 5/6 hours in.
At what point do we start getting refunded for lack of service?
December 9th, 2007 at 3:53 pm
Hah…I can’t see where my web and mail server in the account status anymore.
They’re blank:/
December 9th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
OK. Im freaking. It’s shopping season. I JUST moved my domain onto Dreamhost because Godaddy did this to me on the Wed. before Thanksgiving (we are a cooking hotline!) Just needed to contribute to collective scream.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
It’s 7:10 pm EST and I am just starting to get some mail service, albeit intermittent.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
Really really need these mailservers back it has been all day.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Good News!
My last day with DH is the 16th of this month, I am thinking HostMonster…
December 9th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
@Paul - “At what point do we start getting refunded for lack of service?” You don’t unless you’re in your first 97 days and then you’re free to leave with a refund. The agreement is pretty clear on that.
@Preston - Your server is affected by this outage. Until the file server is back online, you’re not going to get much done.
@Jenn - Sorry. I wish you weren’t caught in this one.
@Michelle - not all servers/clusters are affected by this outage. To you and everyone on the frisky cluster, it’s serious. As a portion of what DH serves, it’s only a portion. Compared to a router going down or DNS server failing, this is medium.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
Some of my websites works, some other dont. Im loosing a lot of money today… Sad.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Just some updates to what is happening would be great.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
All the business websites I host with your service are down at the moment. I am on esprit host. When will we get this fixed? This is not funny anymore. It is not nice to get lots of calls from your customers asking why is their website down.
I hope you will get it fixed ASAP.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
@Linda - your post is a bit confusing - “I am on the Frisky cluster, but that wasn’t posted as having problems. ” The WHOLE POST is about the frisky cluster. Your server is likely named after a type of car, but your files are stored on the frisky file server cluster. That is what is currently having issues and trying to rebuild itself.
I do agree that this seems pretty long.
@Daniel - Have fun at hostmonster. The problem with being a hosting jumper is that you can’t guarantee that you can stay ahead of the failures. They do have a toll free number for support - which is interesting on an inexpensive plan - but I loved this marketing point “Maximum guaranteed uptime” - well, I don’t really want a MAX, I’m more interested in a MINIMUM.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Heh. Just got a reply to my ticket from 6 hours ago.
Go Dreamhost!
/may contain traces of sarcasm
December 9th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
@omg - “Your server is affected by this outage. Until the file server is back online, you’re not going to get much done.”
NO SHIT! You think I’m here for fun? And “Until the file server is back online….”. Really, cause I thought I could just go into my control panel and click the EASY BUTTON?
Don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t tell Dreamhost that “I’m broke, and your billing will be affected by this. Until I have some cash in my bank account, you’re not going to get much out of me.”
December 9th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
but unfortunately it lost one of the drives and we’re in the process of rebuilding it Curious what story is behind this
December 9th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
oh my post lost its quotes: “but unfortunately it lost one of the drives and we’re in the process of rebuilding it”
December 9th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Well I looked on the status page when this started hours ago now, but nothing was published so i sent a ticket which has been answered just now, not much detail on estimated time of fix, but least it is been worked on, fingers crossed it will be all up and running again soon. Medium I dont think so!

December 9th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
I have to say that I am 100% disappointed with the resolution time of this email server issue. It’s been going on all day, and there is no resolution in sight.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Well, since both my webmail and site have been down all day I’ve had plenty of time to research a new hosting company. I had such high expectations coming here, this is the straw that broke the camels back for me. I’ve lost a whole day of business from this and what really pisses me off is the lack of communication on Dreamhosts part. I have sent over 4 tickets today all going unanswered till a few minutes ago, and that was just some mass mail they sent out to everyone. I won’t be with Dreamhost much longer, I am moving on to what I hope to be a company with alittle bit of customer service integrity.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
DH really need to get those redundancy protections in place. One drive failure shouldn’t cause 50 servers go down.
December 9th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
It would help, at least psychologically, if you posted updates more than once every several hours. The most recent update was from over 4 hours ago. What stage are things at, and when do you expect them to be finished. That sort of information would be very helpful, even if it is just to ease our minds.
December 9th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
no site probs, here, just email. DH has been just fine by me. sure this is disappointing and hopefully furthers their progressive in better responding and preventing such occurances from taking down so many services…but this ain’t a freak occurance for any web host. patience grasshoppers.
December 9th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
What’s the deal? My site is completely down! Get that file server running!!!!
December 9th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
11:53 pm EST and my mail server (Pierce/Frisky) is working great! LBW
December 9th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
I concur that updates of dreamhoststatus.com should occur at least hourly during outages. If you don’t have someone ordering pizza or grabbing sodas for the poor guys knee deep in machines with enough time to post a status every hour - AND to have the brains to mark it as completed (or nearly so) when things should be back up, you probably need one more guy on the job.
I’d recommend the manager that’s standing over you saying “Are you done yet? Are you done yet?” That would give him something to do that would be productive.
December 9th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
@Chris
well thank you for cluttering the support ticketing system even more! Why do you absolutely need to send not one but FOUR support tickets on the same issue? When you do that, trust me, you don’t speed things up but all the way round. You take time from the people who are working to solve the issue PLUS you delay responses to you and everyone else who has sent a ticket.
Now, consider a whole cluster could have thousands of users, most of which may have sent a support ticket on this issue just like you did… do you really expect the support monkeys (j/k guys, you do a superb job) to type an all nice 100% original reply to all 10,000 tickets, when all 10,000 of them need the same explanation/information?
And take a minute to think about this… if there’s a whole file system cluster down and the info about its status is posted here, why would support guys take time from the actual fixing of the problem to reply to every ticket the minute it comes in? To reply with the same information you’re reading right here? they won’t tell you anything new you know…
I think you’re overreacting just a bit man. personally, I’d rather have a webhost that posts to a status blog, dedicated to fixing stuff instead of ticket-chatting and then lets me know when we’re good to go again instead of a webhost that replies in 10 seconds every time I bitch about them taking to long to fix the cluster but takes 2 days to fix it because everyone’s too busy replying to tickets
… and it’s funny… everyone on this blog complains about HOURS of downtime every week and bitch about going to Media Temple. In a year I have never had any downtime. I’d love to see how many of those bitchers are actually DH customers and how many are media temple paid advertisers. In any case, go ahead, move on to another host and make OUR day (and get overbilled in the process)
December 9th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
Maybe it is in frustration over the problem.
The problem seems to be that there allways is some kind of problem.
it seems insted of doing somthing to lower the problems new members / join to dreamhost
seems to get more space and traffic.
and why im on this dreamhoststatus page again today ?
Because I cant open https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi
More focus on solving the problems asap they are there !
insted of better offer for new signups !!!
December 10th, 2007 at 1:09 am
Hello there,
I understand you are sweating your balls off trying to get this thing back up, but… It is very frustrating to have few updates from you - which are mainly random replies to some customers, It would be much better to have info on the actual progress and an estimated time for resolution.
I have a deadline for a website and should be working on it like crazy. While I can do other things, I keep wasting my time with trying to access my site and then coming here to this blog hoping I will have a better idea about when I can start working again. Trust me, we feel for you, shit happens to everyone, but pls communicate a bit better.
Cheers,
Laszlo
PS to all the complainers: I never had any outages before, and I am sure all of you would also have moved on a long time ago if you had outages on a weekly basis like you claim…
December 10th, 2007 at 3:34 am
17 hours. 1 update.
Thanks.
December 10th, 2007 at 4:26 am
Those of you that have commented are some mean folks. I guess ya’ll think the internet and equipment used is perfect and never fails. People this is a part of life. If you have something pressing then get your own server and spend every waking hour keeping it up. Be patient and the problem will get fixed. With all the mall and church shootings going on I think a file server issue is minute in comparison. Be thankful that you can afford web space. Many people have dreams and ideas and are not pursuing them you are and in the end things will be okay. And for those of you who feel the need to yell, fuss and scream at me for my comment. I still Love You. God Bless
December 10th, 2007 at 4:48 am
When i send any mail with michel@ctead.com.br, it just don’t arrive. It’s about your server problems?!
Thanks.
December 10th, 2007 at 5:40 am
@Michel - it could be if you’re on the frisky cluster. See if http://webmail.ctead.com.br works for you before sending in a support ticket.
December 10th, 2007 at 6:34 am
No end of day status update for yesterday? That is pretty bad customer service given the length of the outage. I have been with you guys for a very long time and I am a very happy customer but you are not really responding appropriately to your users request for updates. Each hour or 2 you should be posting a short update to let everyone know that you are still working on it. That is all people want, just a little update.

Don’t expect to pay $10 a month for hosting and get stellar service all the time.
For example — I know of a place where you can get guaranteed 20 min resolution to all service tickets and hardware replacements within 1 hour. BUT, that is for managed hosting (e.g. your own dedicated server) and it starts at upwards of $400 a month.
You get what you pay for.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:36 am
Well said Pastor Griff. I know that these things can be extremely frustration and often can lead to anger and bad feelings. However, some of us really are living our dream (I quite my day job two years ago to pursue my business) and we should try to keep things in perspective, especially during this season of spirit and joy. Lets all take a moment to count our blessings before we get back to blaming others. Thank you for your post.
Cheers,
Skip
BTW, nice website
December 10th, 2007 at 8:49 am
So my website is working, but my email is not. In fact when I opened my webmail this morning, all the mail was gone and replaced by mail from one of my other domains. Makes no sense, but when I look at the emails they are all addressed to my other email address. In addition, no email will load to my desktop email program and I haven’t changed anything. Weird.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:57 am
Thanks Skip, I too am working on leaving the normal work outside of home life to the more normal work from home life. For me Dreamhost has been the easiest to set up CMS sites. I have a big project to set up LCMS’s for bible colleges and Dreamhost is the only hosting company that allows me to do my setups without constantly having this turned on or that turned off to make things work. Other hosting companies will not host Claroline, Drupal, Joomla, Atutor without headaches.

At this point, things seem to be up and running pretty well.
I’m not unhappy with DH, I’m not about to move everything off, etc. Responses to my tickets have always been quick, polite, and useful. This is the first time there has been long downtime.
What I would strongly suggest, is that during problems when some of your customers’ sites or email are down, that you post updates hourly (or even once every couple of hours.) I doesn’t take much, and it buys you a lot of good will.

@Viking
Piss off, I can send what I want to send to them. I pay for hosting just like everyone else. I damn near missed out on a $600 job yesterday because of this BS here. Of course I am going to keep writing, I want answers and I expect to get them. Don’t worry though, I’ve learned my lesson. You get what you pay for and I am going with a VPS with a much more reliable host in January. I also work from home and my site is my business, losing out on a big job is sickening to me, thankfully I got into my mail after 12 hours of being down just long enough to snag out the contents of the mail and an address to reply to and use Gmail to respond. To everyone else who thinks complaining doesn’t help, your a fool. Why should they get away with poor support like this? Maybe its unimportant to a few of you whether your site is up or not and if so then yeah, Dreamhost is a great place to be. I need dependability and reliability. I am not getting that here and as much as I hate moving my site I’ve had enough and am doing so.
December 10th, 2007 at 10:53 pm

Chris: “@Viking Piss off, I can send what I want to send to them.”
Yes, you can be childish if you want. And other people can upbraid you for it too.
Chris: “I damn near missed out on a $600 job yesterday”
What, half a day’s work? Life’s like that. Deal with it.
Chris: “losing out on a big job is sickening to me
Oh, and a big job too… how much was that one worth?
Chris: “To everyone else who thinks complaining doesn’t help, your a fool.
You could do with improving your spelling and grammar (not to mention your patience) if you’re to avoid losing jobs for reasons other than occasional email hiccups.
Do come back when you’ve matured enough to be a reasonable adult, there’s a good chap.

Angry Dog, it’s quite clear, given your tone, language and imagery, which of us is an asshole with anger management issues, and it ain’t me. That sort of language has no place in a civilised society. Perhaps you still need to grow up Chris, sorry, Angry Dog.
P.S. I see it took you three hours to come up with your last charming contribution to peace and harmony on earth - what were you doing in the meantime? Shooting up some malls or churches?

pot, kettle, black.
The self-incrimination is just beautiful.

hmm.. after reviewing your earlier responses, you appear to be quite the nasty little spite-filled narcissistic individual don’t you (rhetorical question of course).. sarcasm is the lowest form of wit Andrew, at least make an effort.

All of my clients are yelling at me! I am dying here! Oh noes! This is awful. Dreamhost should be anally raped. If I buy an apple at an apple shop I should get an apple. If I buy hosting for a website I should get hosting. YEAH THEY ARE THE SAME.
Wait, they’re not. Seriously, get the fuck out of the comments section, every single person who brings this “I am losing money” shit in here. Fuck you and your loss of money. Nobody gives a shit. Get a new shared host and realize they have just as many or many more outages and downtime or buy a fucking webserver, you know, one that you can remote into and do all kinds of fancy by yourself money-making masturbating.

I have a deadline for a website and should be working on it like crazy. While I can do other things, I keep wasting my time with trying to access my site and then coming here to this blog hoping I will have a better idea about when I can start working again. Trust me, we feel for you, shit happens to everyone, but pls communicate a bit better.
Cheers,
Laszlo
PS to all the complainers: I never had any outages before, and I am sure all of you would also have moved on a long time ago if you had outages on a weekly basis like you claim…

ALL OF US HATE YAHOO…..

I’m seeing intermittent load issues still with rambler. It usually lasts only about 5 minutes, but when you are in the midst of development, it’s pretty frustrating!
At first I thought it was only my script running slow, but ssh was also slow, ftp as well. All other sites respond fine (so I don’t think it’s on my end).
I don’t hate Yahoo

According to Dell the reason for the delay was the drivers weren’t ready and their app which helps automate the installation process was not ready. Google it and you’ll find the stories…
