Wed Apr 18 17:42:29 PDT 2001 — Public MySQL Server: A kernel that we installed a few nights ago showed some signs of instability and we took the box down to replace it with the old stable kernel. Just to be safe we also verified the integrity of all of the SQL databases on it and this delayed it from coming back on line sooner. It was offline for about 15 minutes. There are just a few tools at sonic that depend on this server, twig and the pop finder being two of them. All of the customer hosted MySQL database are also hosted on this server. No data was lost. We will be investigating the problem with the new kernel and, after fixing it, will upgrade to it during the next maintenance window. -Kelsey
