Nowhere did they say that the system crashed. What they said was that a database corruption issue was detected. Therefore, the outage was intentional -- they had to shut down the system, migrate a known-good snapshot to new hardware, and replay the logs. This takes a heck of a lot of time because you're basically provisioning your IT infrastructure from scratch.TomWed, 27 Aug 2008 00:01:08 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/2635/netflix-faulty-hardware-took-us-down/#comment-1829870Interesting that they blame one piece of hardware, when it looks like all Netflix's distribution centers were out of commission for a time. Unless they took the others offline until they identified the problem, or they have multiple instances of that one piece of hardware. Still smells like a software issue...davezatzMon, 25 Aug 2008 15:43:30 -0000
