Brief interruption in service for some sites August 29, 2017

Posted August 29th, 2017 in System Status.

Between 8:41 and 8:44 Pacific time tonight (August 29, 2017), there was a brief load spike on one of our servers that caused errors on some sites.

We’ve identified the cause of this (high NFS disk load caused by an internal tool we use) and fixed it so the problem won’t recur.

We apologize for the inconvenience this caused.
