Major Technology News Site Experiences Outage
On Thursday, July 16th, major technology news site slashdot [slashdot.org] went static for a big chunk of the day. A storage fault led to significant filesystem corruption, and they had to restore a massive amount of data from backups. There's a post at the SourceForge blog going into a bit more detail [sourceforge.net], and describing the steps their Siteops team took to restore service. (Slashdot and SourceForge share a corporate overlord, as well as a fair bit of infrastructure.)
Couldn't help but post this story about an important technology/nerd website. Anybody heard of it? :-P
Tomorrow will be cancelled due to lack of interest.
