Fremont40 managed to hit an older Xen bug. I'm updating the xen stack to our latest now. Linodes should be coming back online in a few minutes.

Sorry for trouble,

I saw that it was dead this morning, rebooted and it came back up. I then saw it dead just again and freaked out , then I checked this post. Thankfully it was the host being rebooted this time.

Awesome, at least it is not my server giving the issues.

Thanks for letting us know what is happening with these posts!

Maybe it would be a good idea in the future to send out a page via your notification system if you are going to do this.

I didn't realize this server was rebooted until now, which resulted in a service being down all this time.

Just an idea, I already get paged for high cpu etc, and even billing, but the reboot would have been a really nice notification to have.

Some ideas on how to do this yourself were discussed here:
