Del.icio.us Down

Del.icio.us seems to be down. The second major Web 2.0 outage in just a week. Who is going to be next?

continued hiccups

Due to the power outage earlier in the week, we are dealing with a number of continued hiccups. We’ve taken everything offline to properly rebuild and restore everything. I apologize and hope to have this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued patience.

Update: del.icio.us: continued hiccups

Update: Indexes are almost done rebuilding. When that is done, we can then copy the data to the various database servers and start the service back up. Almost done — hang in there.

Update: Still waiting for the last remaining index to build. No data has been lost — we just need to fix the tables so the databases can find things quickly. This appears to be largely due to a RAID failure after our power outage earlier in the week – one of the indexes became corrupted and crashed the master database; for some reason the slaves replicated bad data from the master and then ended up crashing infinitely.

The curse of Yanhoo strikes again. Typepad, now delicious. I guess the next down will be anything else newly acquired by Yahoo.
