Hey, guys?

I know a lot of you have LiveJournal accounts...

Is LJ down or is it just my computer?

I cannot get in either. I'm sure it'll just be a little bit.

Well, their non-profit area is still running (livejournal.org) and it if Friday...

Perhaps they're just doing the weekly maintenance?

"Power is back up at Internap, but we're in the process of bring back our 100+ servers."

So yeah, they're working on it.

I knew I could come here and find out what was going on. I don't check LJ during the day so it's one of the first things I do after work and it's not working. Nooooooooo! :bunbun:

There's a little news...

Update #1, 7:35 pm PST: we're up on 'dirty' power for now (it works, but it's unreliable), and we're working to assess the state of the databases. The worst thing we could do right now is rush the site up in an unreliable state. We're checking all the hardware and data, making sure everything's consistent. Where it's not, we'll be restoring from recent backups and replaying all the changes since that time, to get to the current point in time, but in good shape. We'll be providing more technical details later, for those curious, on the power failure (when we learn more), the database details, and the recovery process. For now, please be patient. We'll be working all weekend on this if we have to.

It's not just LiveJournal that's down. The entire RealmWorx network, which runs a bunch of gaming forums, as well as WizKids Games website, was down for quite some time this afternoon. WK is still down, but the RealmWorx sites (Or, at least MWRealms) is up.
LiveJournal is based out of Seattle, no? Maybe it's a local problem in the city.

Damn I miss that game.

Update #3: 2:42 am: We're starting to get tired, but all the hard stuff is done at least. Unfortunately a couple machines had lying hardware that didn't commit to disk when asked, so InnoDB's durability wasn't so durable (though no fault of InnoDB). We restored those machines from a recent backup and are replaying the binlogs (database changes) from the point of backup to present. That will take a couple hours to run. We'll also be replacing that hardware very shortly, or at least seeing if we can find/fix the reason it misbehaved. The four of us have been at this almost 12 hours, so we're going to take a bit of a break while the binlogs replay... Again, our apologies for the downtime. This has definitely been an experience.


Hey, nice to know they care. :sasha:

We have had a lot of snow recently, but it's mostly gone by now. I don't recall any news stories about blackouts.

Update #5: 1:58 pm: approaching 24 hours of downtime... *sigh* We're still at it. We'll be doing a full write-up when we're done, including what we'll be changing to make sure verify/restore operations don't take so long if this is ever necessary again. The good news is the databases already migrated to InnoDB did fine. The bad news (obviously) is that our verify/restore plan isn't fast enough. And also that some of our machine's storage subsystems lie. Anyway, we're still at it... it's long because we're making sure to back up even the partially out of sync databases that we're restoring, just in case we encounter any problems down the road with the restored copy, we'll be able to merge them. And unfortunately backups and networks are too slow.


Looks like they're gonna be a while. *sigh* I need my friendlist fix!
