Goliath Issue (Resolved)

July 31, 2014 at 8:25 AM

The Goliath server has crashed this morning. We are looking in to the cause and working towards a resolution at this time. We will bring Goliath back online as soon as possible, however we do not yet have an ETA for resolution. Further updates will be posted here as they become available.

Update 9:30AM CDT: Goliath is running a Filesystems Check (FSCK) and should be back online within 15-30 minutes.
Update 9:36AM CDT: Goliath is back online at this time and services should again be accessible.
Final Update 9:52AM CDT:  We do not have a specific cause of the crash however we can attribute the most likely cause to an I/O error. As such, we are tweaking configurations to help ensure this does not occur again, and enabling additional logging to monitor the server more closely for some time (all RAID arrays are in tact and optimal, and a FSCK was completed successfully, as well). We apologize for the downtime and would like to thank everyone for their patience this morning.
