Shared Server Arthur is currently down

Message

We're investigating an issue with the server "arthur" which is currently not reachable. An engineer is on their way to look at it. We hope to have it back shortly.

There is already a spare server built for "arthur" and if the drives have gone bang wallop we'll restore the latest backups to it on the new hardware.

We'll update this blog post when more information is available.

Update: 15:55

The server is back, it required manual intervention in the form of an fsck on one of the partitions which took some time to complete. We fear the disk(s) are having issues and we're going to schedule a maintenance window in the coming few days to complete the migration. We're already syncing data to the new hardware in case it falls over again.
