We’ve changed our categories for announcements here a little bit to hopefully clarify some of the information being announced. The new categories are mostly severity based and reflect how large of an impact on our services a particular announcement has. This is still a work in progress so feel free to comment on [...]
The database server ‘odie’, is having hardware issues which have impacted its stability. Those of you who have recently signed up, and are having recurring database troubles, this is more than likely the cause. We’re in the process of migrating everyone’s data to a different server, and will update this post once it [...]
The MySQL server Elmyra has been unresponsive to our attempts at resuscitation . This only affects databases on this 1 specific server. The administrative team is diligently working to get it back up with as little continued downtime as is humanly possible. Updates to follow as efforts progress.
UPDATE Server is UP, a single [...]
We will be performing some maintenance on one of the databases which runs the DreamHost webpanel beginning tonight, August 23, at 10PM PDT (-0700). Ending 1 hour later at August 23, 11PM PDT (-0700). The DreamHost webpanel (http://panel.dreamhost.com) will not be available during this time. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Note: this [...]
Tonight we will be performing emergency maintenance on a filer which has started having its watchdog card reboot it every 5 hours or so, and a power strip which can no longer remotely manage.
The filer swap should only take about 15 minutes. There will be very little discernable problems unless your data is actually [...]
The shared mysql server grizabella lost its backup drive during the power outage it seems. I am going to take it offline in about 15-30 minutes for about 15 minutes to swap out the disk.
All the databases from sekhmet are back online. The process took longer than expected, and we ended up having to just move all of the data to a new server. Everything looks to be online with it though, and queries are running again in force.
It looks like the MySQL data directory wasn’t properly put onto the big partition on that server. I am moving it over now, however in order to get a consistent move I have to stop all MySQL services on there. It should only take a few minutes for the move.

All better!
We are experiencing mysql load issues. We believe that it’s being caused by a bad switch. Our Admins are in the process of replacing the switch. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The switch has been switched! This should hopefully resolve any poor network response time to/from the affected mysql servers.
Ok, the database server “arlene” has had its data restored to the last backup, which was from the early morning hours of today (May 29), PDT (-0700). Changes made to the affected database since then were lost, unfortunately. We will be investigating the root causes of the hardware failures, and what needs to [...]
