Around midnight on Monday, March 14, Radix suffered a physical disk failure that took the system down. The team worked late on Tuesday night in order to replace broken hardware and attempt a painstaking recovery from the affected disk.
As of Wednesday morning, recovered data is being fed on to the new hard drives and we are working to restore basic services such as shell access, mail processing, and web mail access. We hope to have the system stabilized for public access sometime on Thursday, March 17.
DNS requests for domains hosted on radix are distributed over a network of machines unaffected by this issue, and email bound for various domains is being queued at various locations for delivery when the system comes back up.
