We are currently experiencing some downtime with websites hosted on the Spunky cluster, due to a downed file server. We are currently working on getting this back up and running and we apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing. Please check back here for updates, as soon as they become available!

UPDATE 6:57am Pacific: We are also adding Spunky email to the list of services that are down due to this, as some email accounts are hosted on that file server.
We have also discovered the cause for this downtime. The shelves that hold this file server are redundantly powered, but it seems that both of the power supplies have taken a dive. We are currently working to restore power to this shelf and hope to have that completed soon. Check back here for more updates!
UPDATE 7:33am Pacific: We’re almost there! We ended up replacing the shelf for this file server, as we discovered that one of the power strips died and the power supply connected to the hot strip was also dead! So, this normally wouldn’t have caused an outage like this, save for the surprise dead power strip. The file server is coming back online now and we’ll post the all clear here when we have completed some tests.
UPDATE 10:45am Pacific: The file server issues have been resolved and all services appear to be working correctly now. We are still however dealing with the newest status post about network issues we are dealing with.

So if you are noticing problems still it is likely related to that outage now. Sorry about the file server downtime. Typically our backup power supply would have saved us from this outage. This issue is resolved.
