LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-it-all-hits-the-fan dept.

Hakubi_Washu writes "LiveJournal has posted their official analysis of what happened last Friday. Apparently someone "accidentally" pushed the emergency power off (which should keep all power off, even UPS), reset it and ran off. They had problems to come back up fast, because of "9 machines with faulty motherboards with embedded NICs that don't do auto-negotiation properly", Machines not fully rebooting for analysis reasons and few others. "

    so, they had faulty motherboards, knew about it, and didn't do anything to fix it before they had a major outage?
