Tiddlyspot.com AND TiddlyTools.com are both hosted on DreamHost. The following notice was posted by DreamHost Support to the control panel for the account: ----------------- You are receiving this message because your web hosting services are being affected by hardware maintenance due to issues with your shared web hosting server '...'. Due to issues with the RAID controller, we have replaced the hardware for this server and we are restoring all data from our backup server to the new hardware. During this process, the data on the backup server will be mounted directly over NFS to allow your hosting services to remain online for the duration of the process. There may be periods of high load on the server due to this restoration, which is caused by the large amount of data being sent to the server. We will be closely monitoring the server and mitigating that load wherever possible. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this unplanned maintenance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Support under Support -- Contact Support, in your Web Panel. This notice will also appear on that page in your Web Panel and will be updated throughout the process with the latest details we can provide. Please note, this is regarding your web server '...', and no other servers or services (mysql, email) have been affected. Update: unfortunately, due to the state of the backups, even after establishing the connection to serve and restore your data, you may be experiencing downtime. Despite several attempts, the load is very high on the server, and it's timing out sites. We continue looking into this, and we apologize for any inconvenience this is causing. -------------------- So, they are working on the problem... just wait it out.. things may be slow for a few more hours, but they should return to normal in a little while. Note: I'm not sure how often DreamHost backs up the shared hosting server. Unfortunately, backups of the most recently changed TW documents *might* not have been performed before the RAID controller failed, so some recent changes may have been lost when DreamHost did the "restore from backups" activity as they reported. -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
