Status Updates from TextDrive -- officially deadpooled but helping folks retrieve backups (@txdjm)

No good news to report yet on the recovery of the data on compute nodes in ATL, ORD and PHX. The @kzngdn freelancers are still on JFK.


Be back in a bit — putting another kid that woke up back to bed.


One of the most important lessons was don't put backups on storage that is not easy to get the data back from quickly in an outage.


One suggestion would be to sell some SmartOS instances to folk to pay for the hardware but that would require ramping up things quite a bit.


Anyone got reasonable questions for a FAQ on migrations from backups?


Looking into the mess that was TextDrive. Only 13 support tickets to TextDrive about the disaster!

May have good news — discussing the drive wiping process and all that fun behind the scenes workflow at the moment. #textdrive #clusterfuck

How many folks would help pay towards shipping drives for data recovery? I am asking a number of places for quotations but it sounds pricey.


FYI: The summary so far. ATL / ORD / PHX have zero shared hosts left. All those computes nodes drives were wiped. BSD KVM's also gone.


Making more progress. 5 "zpool scrub" zones going in New York. Looking at things when I get home from the office.

@UbiquityHosting have launched an investigation into what happened on their end.

I am starting an audit on the servers @UbiquityHosting have made available. Going to boot SmartOS in "no-import".


Trying to do an assessment of what @UbiquityHosting has nuked. More details to follow on this clusterfuck. #ubiquityhosting #clusterfuck

I'm not gonna say that we fed our front-end engineer too much sugar and she took down the website, but those two things both happened.

Google is innovating fast in the cloud infrastructure race. If the can market, and those price cuts help, AWS may finally have a race.


Let me know if anyone sees any hiccups on the new dns1.textdrive.com and dns2.textdrive.com DNS instances.
