So... what happened last night?

[Taffy]

Just to close this one off, for now:

Looks like RapidSwitch have stabilised and they appear to be doing all the things one does after a serious outage. They're offering RAM and/or hard drive upgrades for free for their customers, which I suspect won't help us as Promethius is colocated not a managed server. I'm reasonably happy that they just get their network sorted and we can go back to business as usual.

Shout if you experience any other issues.

Why don't you take the RAM and have it as a raffle prize?

As Promethius is a colocated box, we'll not be offered any RAM. They're only offering that to their managed service customers (who, admittedly, pay more than us).

We've 4GB and on average only "need" about 1.6GB of that. The rest is just caching and speeding up general services.

We're not short on RAM

What we are short on is people using the server to make it worth while what we are paying for it!
