Database corrupted?

Hi,

All my tags are gone, on 1,500+ links. Any one has the same problem?
I just posted a note on the support form, hope I get my data back,
else it will really be a good example on how you put your trust on an
online system and you just wake up and don't have anything left!

Dave

I am sure that del.icio.us has some amount of data redundancy and
seriously doubt that any of your information has been lost forever.

One of the tag cache servers appears to have fallen down.

To speed the page generation up we have a separate set of systems that get your tag data and bundle it up into temporary files. This appears to be the source of trouble.

I am investigating. Your data is safe. Everything is frequently backed up as well.

Joshua,

Thanks for the note. I understood you rely heavyly on cacher servers,
as when you create a new tag, then you go back to your deli.cio.us
home, the tag does not appear ;)

For getting back up the system, i knwow from our current experience
(we host for free 15 K+ Zope and Plone sites) it can be very tough
and ressources demanding. Hope it resumes OK.

Dave

PS : I checked, all is back to normal, thanks to all the team :)

Last night we rolled out reduntant user tag caches and put loadbalancers in front of them, in case a cache server failed.

The load balancer itself appears to have failed. Figures.

We are unrolling the configuration and everything should return to normal shortly. I apologize for the inconvenience.
