Trouble getting to forums

[Hossenfeffer]

For the last half hour or so (until now, naturally). A tracert showed I was able to get to the first node at stargate.net and no further.

Yep, and they're back. A load balancer went down, damn IBM drives.

I also notice that now after it's back up that some posts are missing.

Edit: my mistake. I was looking at a similar, but wrong, thread for a particular msg.

 

[Jason Clark]

Nah the web/db servers didn't have any issues at all, when the load balancer can't respond then www. forums. and subscriber. are gone thats all the servers are all still there.

IBM drives are definitely not very reliable, at least these ones. They are history this week.

 

[Hossenfeffer]

How about making a funeral pyre for em and doing a video capture?

Sounds like you need to put your two cents in on some discussions in General Hardware.

 

[Jason Clark]

Yep, we've hired a bugle guy . By the end of the week they should be gone.

[Rallispec]

50 users logged in at 9.40 est. subsriber2.anandtech works fine though.

[Jason Clark]

Yep, probably will be flaky until tomorrow sometime.

Thanks for understanding.
