I live right down the street from the datacenter (~ 0.5 miles). The whole area's power was out for a bit, but know more than an hour. My site is having errors.
We had just launched a test server about 40 minutes ago and had been waiting for it to boot for ages when I finally thought to check the status page. Talk about bad timing.
The Fremont datacenter, if I remember correctly, is at Hurricane Electric. They had power issues in 2009 as well.<p><a href="http://blog.feedly.com/2009/11/03/24-minutes-of-unscheduled-downtime-resolved/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.feedly.com/2009/11/03/24-minutes-of-unscheduled-...</a>
Latest News:<p>3:30am (EST): Some hosts were damaged by the power outage and we are working on moving these Linodes to hot standby equipment.<p>Please tell me that doesn't mean potential data loss!
Going on 4 hours of downtime here, this is a disaster. Linode used to be really honest about the status of things, this time, they claim "most linodes should be booted" which seems not to be true.
I wonder if this was related to the crappy weather in the south bay? My power was out for from 8 until 8:45ish (PST). Of course, I would hope their datacenter has a UPS and generators...
there was a brief outage at the hurricane electric datacenter in fremont, probably due to the storm that came through the bay area this evening. our servers (not part of linode) went down, too, but were back up a couple minutes later. i can't confirm the cause, though, b/c i can't reach anyone at he.net on the phone. =(
