Power outage in Linode Fremont Datacenter

My linode has been down for over an hour and still counting. They just went under three nines in one day...

I noticed this an hour later because my monitor script was set up in the same datacenter. Lesson learned.

So... they ever heard of redundant power generators? Does anyone know what happened exactly?

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.

I had just brought up a new instance. Why not choose Fremont? It's right down the .... oh dammit.

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.

Still wait for the reboot jobs. maybe I should move to EC2.

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.

When it went down, I quickly realized my addiction to Twitter via irssi.

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...

Grrr... my one remaining down Linode has been down for a bit over 3 hours now (extrapolating from the Dashboard graphs). Sort of ... quite bad.

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. =(

They are saying that linodes are on their way back up. Not mine though... alas. Anyone else have any more luck?

Suggest also hanging out in #linode on irc.oftc.net. Perihelion is being very patient and answering questions.

And certificate errors on <a href="https://linode.com" rel="nofollow">https://linode.com</a>.

I still have 2/3 servers down, one of them is still "Powered off" in the console.

Glad my linode is in the New Jersey data center.

Might this be related to current prgmr outages?
