Title: Brief downtime? Post by: dree12 on August 10, 2012, 03:36:30 AM I noticed from the recent posts roll that there were ~8 minutes of downtime for the forum. During this time, I experienced a "database error". Did anyone else notice this? What was the cause?

Seems like maintenance should be scheduled such that people don't lose posts.Title: Re: Brief downtime? Post by: imsaguy on August 10, 2012, 03:39:47 AM They restarted the server. :) Ah.

It seemed like something locked up and when notified, they restarted the server and things were working again. Title: Re: Brief downtime?

Post by: theymos on August 10, 2012, 04:26:00 AM I'm not sure what caused it. It seems that the server locked up while compressing the forum backup. I don't know why. This normally works fine -- I just tried it now without any issues. Title: Re: Brief downtime? Post by: imsaguy on August 10, 2012, 04:39:08 AM I'm not sure what caused it.
