Any updates from your end, Linode?

I sent in a ticket and they asked me to check this page for updates: http://status.linode.com/2011/05/outage ... ility.html

Thanks for the link.

Thanks - what time is it currently there (I am in Australia)

It's 4:05AM in the West Coast. 7:05AM in the East.

Thanks

Still no updates on what has happened. I haven't felt this uneasy for a long time.

Not sure whats up exactly but a reply on my ticket said there might have been something funky with an update.

At least I found that we have IPv6 support now!

And I am halfway restoring a backup to a new London linode just to avert a longer downtime.

I hope they bring fremont up quick.

At about 3AM PST it looks like their announcements were removed from the global BGP table:
May 6 03:03:27 src@gw1.p3 bgpd[27687]: Rib Loc-RIB: neighbor 206.51.38.... (eqix_he_a) AS25658: withdraw 173.230.144.0/20

They are still missing.

Right, just found out the backups are stored in the same datacenter.

Well, that isn't very useful.

Word of note:

If your particular service or application cannot be down, pick up another linode and have some sort of load-balancing/HA system configured.

Yeah, I asked that question when they first announced the facility, and the linode backup may be on the next machine to the source.

Having been through that at WestHost, I wasn't going to get caught the same way twice...

Yes. It was and is foolish of me to think Linode is bulletproof.
