A failed disk in one of the storage systems for our virtual hosting platform has resulted in file system errors, taking down the virtual machines currently stored on that system.
At the moment engineers are attempting to recover the file system, hopefully bringing all machines back on line.
Update 1: 15/01 00:10
The storage is now on line and all virtual machines have been restarted. It’s advised for customers to run a file system check inside their guest operating system just in case errors have made in into the guest images.
Update 2: 15/01 08:35
It appears errors have accumulated over night and the storage system went offline around 02:45. Engineers are currently looking into a solution.
Update 3: 15/01 09:00
Machines are now back on line and all errors appear to have been cleared. We will keep a close eye on the system but all servers should now be running as normal.
