Spunky Network File Server Issues
Posted (July 30th, 2008 at 5:22 pm PST) by Jason CSome customers on the spunky cluster might be seeing some outage issues. One of our network file servers is acting up and members of our admin team are scrambling to get this matter resolved quickly.
Possibly affected servers are as follows: admiralty aero alameda alondra archibald arrow atlantic avalon aviation babyruth barry bazooka beaudry bellflower betsybird blowpop bonbon bottlecap boyd broadway burton butler catalina centinela century cerritos chex cognac compton cookie cordial cupcake danielof dingdong doheny dorito drumstick dumdum edendale euclid fairfax fireballs fletcher foothill fundip garland garth garvey gobstopper goober good gower grand grappa gumdrop haven hillhurst hillmont hoover hope hops hyperion knocker lankershim larchmont lemonhead limbo-spunky4 linq locust look lucas ludlow lydia malt manchester mayo melrose milliken mills monroe munchies nilla ninja nix oakdale ocean olive ord overland pernod pico pikespeak plenty pocky poprock pretzel price pringle razzle ritz rockyroad rodeo roscoe rossmore rum sake saltine schnapps selma skittle skybar slauson snicker soto sourpatch spunky-vserver03 spunky-vserver16 spunky-vserver19 spunky-vserver27 spunky-vserver39 starburst sunset taffy tampa temple tequila topanga twix vanowen warhead washington wayne western whittier whopper wilshire york
We’ll keep you updated as the matter persists.
Update: Everything is happy again! It appears that the file server temporarily lost its routes. Our admin team is cleaning up a few straggling services and sites should be up again for the most part. If you happen to notice any further problems, please contact Technical Support immediately and we’ll gladly help you out.
Update: Unfortunately we have to repair a disk on the same file server which we are doing now - we’re hoping this will take no longer than an hour but we’ll update this post again when it is resolved.
Update: Good news - the repair has already completed so services are coming back up. In addition to that the admin team is offloading this file server so that it will no longer cause problems.

All my sites, email, etc. just went down.
DreamHost.com nor DreamHost Control Panel is able to load.
Don’t see anything special on DreamHostStatus.com.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Looks like they’re back now. Sorry for the scare.
Well everything was working a few minutes ago, now all of my websites and dreamhost.com itself are bricked.
Same here - just a blip I guess.
Sigh… Spoke too fast. Not responding again.
Internal Server error at my site…
Same here: Webmail, panel, website, everything is down. I am on Saltine.
Looks like Hillmont is down also…although I can get Panel and it’s reporting no errors via account test!!!
All my sites are down for moments too
Web panel is slooooow or taking too long to respond. Can’t http://FTP. Mail is buggy.
All my sites, email, etc. are down– Yep!
DreamHost.com nor DreamHost Control Panel is able to load. - Correct here!
Don’t see anything special on DreamHostStatus.com. - Ditto
Anyone else experiencing this? YES!!!!!!!!!
Same here right now. Everything is down, can’t get to dreamhost.com nor any of my sites. What’s going on???
I’m down too. Can’t get to Control Panel to let anyone know so I hope they read this. Thanks!
Just FYI, tried sshing into another server on another network and from there I can ping and ssh into my own account, but not from home.
looks like we’re in the middle of another dreamhost meltdown. hope this is resolved soon. it’s 8:00 on the east coast.
Is it me or has Blingy died too :(.
Current load averages for Hillmont are in excess of 350….lol
My blogs are up and down like yoyos at the moment. Drat, just logged out of web panel so can’t remember which servers I’m on. One of those mentioned above, no doubt!
My site’s gone down again too. It’s 12.33 am Friday 1st August here in New Zealand and I’m off to bed - with any luck the situation should be resolved by the time I wake up!
Night all. Hope your sites come up soon.
My site and FTP (garland) are alternating between very slow and down.
Sites down every half hour now. Before was every 10 minutes…lol


Still down. Resolved?
