Database crash

[Toruk Makto]

The Forums database crashed this morning at 9:30am(CST and had to be restored from the midnight backup.  Any posts entered since midnight (CST) evaporated.

Apologies for the fuss. I am working on trying to figure out what happened.

I think some posts went to Eywa...

Quite likely. The backups were 9 hours old.

From the best I can figure, it appears this is a delayed reaction from a corruption of the mysql innodb journal that happened in that last power failure a couple of days ago. The power is now fixed and I hope this is the only persistent effect that pops up.

Sounds plausible to me. Databases usually don't like power outages or hardware failures that much

Well, today I've lost some posts, but hey it was a pretty good mental training to re-post my posts.

Does anything need to be checked on the Dothraki side? And now that I think about it, I lost a PM there last night. The forums were not (to my knowledge) active in the last 24 hours, so things should be OK there.

And I discovered that I had lost a Na'vi post as well. That has been replaced by a better post on the same subject.

I don't lost any post.
