We had a major outage this morning around 10am Eastern Time. I contacted our\u00a0hosting\u00a0service and it\u00a0appears that a process\u00a0ran away\u00a0on the server we use.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The engineers at Hosting Matters attempted to do a clean reboot, but a process hung and forced them into a hard restart. Because of this, the servers file system was damaged and its internal repair system started working as soon as the server\u00a0powered\u00a0up.\u00a0This\u00a0required about an hour to run before the server could come all the way back online.<\/p>\n<p>Normal service was restored around 12PM Eastern Time and no data was lost. Our main site, which does not use a Mysql database, was unaffected and continued operations until the forced shutdown and restart.<\/p>\n<p>Hosting Matters apologizes for the outage and is investigating the incident.
