    I was on when it happened. I'm glad that's all it was. I had fears it was another "meltdown".:Thumbsup:

    Mechanisms are in place and have been tested that will prevent another meltdown like the one we experienced before. Backups are run every hour and stored off site. The most we would lose is an hours worth of material.

    Wierd, when it happened I got a message that said Google was unavailable - I use Google for my homepage - yet I could go directly to other sites, then a little while later all was right with the world again!

    Strange goings-on out there on the interwebs!

    Good job on finding the culprit and getting the site up again Nathan, well done!

    Have a cold one on me..... :beer

    Working with the host we have expanded the temp space to 5GB from 512MB. This will prevent the issue in the future. Video uploads will not be counted in this tmp space. This was done in relation to a MySQL repair maintenance operation.

    pesky swap files! your Host should know better then to provision such a small swap space.
