bitcoincharts kernel panic?

[jojo69]

"We had a kernel panic within the MD layer of the linux kernel. Service will be restored within the next 7 days.

In the meantime, you could assume the price to be either $0.01 or $100 so we can see some interesting rallies and have fun until you can look at boring numbers again "

[lucif]

Total crap

[DeathAndTaxes]

7 days

The second line doesn't exactly inspire any confidence in bitcoincharts operation.

7 days

Also your second line doesn't exactly inspire any confidence in your operation.

who are you talking to? jojo69 != tcatm

[DeathAndTaxes]

DOH. Clarified above.

[jojo69]

lol, its all good

pretty hard fail from a site I thought was solid

here's some info from #bitcoin-de for who's interested:

<tcatm>  Message from syslogd@eu2.bitcoincharts.com at Sep  9 15:05:09 .. kernel:Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
<tcatm> WTF?
<tcatm> Das sind merkwürdige Folgen einer Kernelpanic.
<lianj> eine bitcoin diät
<tcatm> Und wie geht das? Die IP ist doch gerade tot?
<lianj> diese ernaehrung-leicht-gemacht.de domain hat zumindest nen anderen A record
<lianj> "o [master] [github/exchange_rate_mtgox_fallback] fallback to mtgox for exchange rate fetching when bitcoincharts is down" hehe
<tcatm> Naja egal, kümmer ich mich später drum.
<tcatm> In 5..6 Stunden ist das RAID wieder heil, dann kann ich weitermachen (Die Kernelpanic war im md layer)
<lianj> grr
<tcatm> Und zwar gerade als ich bitmaps aktivieren wollte um solche Rebuilds schneller hinzubekommen
<tcatm> Oh, nginx ist kaputt gegangen. Ich spiel dann nach dem rebuild erstmal ein Backup ein
<tcatm> Keine Ahnung warum nginx nicht will.
<tcatm> Oh, Datenbank hat's auch zerlegt.
<tcatm> Na dann dauert das wohl noch etwas
<lianj> hehe within the next 7 days. every panic
<tcatm> Ich finde realistische Angaben sinnvoller als irgendwas vages.
<molecular> hey tcatm. schön, jetz merken alle mal was du für einen wichtigen job machst
<tcatm> Ich warte immernoch aufs RAID
<molecular> hat's die dateisysteme zerschossen und du musst alles neu machen, oder wie?
<tcatm> Zerschossen nicht. Nur das RAID zerlegt.
<tcatm> Und wohl ein paar Datenbanken. Aber da hab ich Backups

too long to translate:

• Raid got screwed by kernel panic in md layer, raid repairing
• nginx defunct, too, restoring backup
• some databases screwed, backups exist
• will take some time, but nothing's lost

Bitcoin Monitor is also not showing trading data. Is this related?

most likely. lots of sites pull trade data from bitcoincharts. It's been around for a long time and it's been very reliable.

I bet bitcoincharts  was hacked and the hacker put this BS page their.

I'm guessing the site will be back up shortly ( when the owner wakes up from his Saturday night hangover   ).

a kernel panic from md driver? how about faulty hardware is the more likely culprit.
i hope they switch out the box before it happens again after they rebuild.

Unfortunately, this combined with the recent "ragequit" from a few weeks back raises many questions about bitcoincharts.com reliability.

I have no problems with an indy site doing as they wish but to take down the whole site to make that point
seems over board. Why not just plaster it at the top of every page instead? Hm...

To me it raises the question about the community that uses a generally great service given to them for free, donates very little, then bitches when the service occasionally goes down. The same goes for mining software.

Not just any one community, people in general. Why do you think advertising revenue is so central to huge swaths of publicly accessible websites?

my thoughts as well

only times I have seen kernel panic has been clocking linux boxes too high trying to get that last ppd

+1

you guys complaining and having great suggestions about how to run stuff need to cool down. it's a free world: make your own site.

I've had at least three Linux boxen which would do this after between several months and several years of uptime (using the software raid implementation which RedRat includes in their installer.)  Happily I rarely get/got corruption which the journal cannot fix up.  And it induced me to be religious about remote access (the machines usually being so hosed that they required a power-cycle.)

Since I don't use software raid (on Linux) very often and my non-raid or hardware raid boxes never display this issue, I'm very inclined to fault the memory device drivers due to the laws or probability (if not the system logs...)
