Outages and what not…

We had an extended outage today that started around 0400EST and lasted
until around 1500EST due to either a kernel bug or hardware fault that
resulted in the primary physical host rebooting without warning. When
these reboots happen, it requires that one of our volunteer staff logs
into the management console and restart some services on our routing
gear due to a bug in those VMs; meaning routing is lost until someone
wakes up to deal with it. Not good for anyone relying on our network
for transit or hosting.

We reached out to the data center and they tested both the memory and
the CPU in our “Adrian” host to see if either had a fault in them and
both came back good. So on a hunch, we updated the board firmware to
a newer release and will be monitoring Adrian very closely for the next
few days to see if this fixes the issue.
