The Mighty Buzzard writes:Yeah, so, failure to babysit the db node that was scheduled for a reboot on the 5th resulted in a bit of database FUBAR that left us temporarily losing everything from then to now. Fortunately we had a backup less than six hours old, restored from it, and appear to be copacetic now. Except for the missing five hours and change.I'd usually make some sort of dumb joke here but it was already four hours past my bedtime when I found out about the problem.
