Code Tour: 04/06 to 04/19

[foxfirefey]

Oh dear, how did this long go without a bug tour! Anyway, 24 bugs have been marked fixed since our last code tour. Some are live, some are not, but by the next code push they all will be!

( On with the bugs! )

Web server disk failure

[mark]

Hey -- how many of you have noticed the couple of times sb-web02 (one of our web servers) has died in the past few days? None of you? Oh good! That means things are working like they should.

It turns out one of our web servers has developed a faulty disk. It's been isolated and removed from serving, and the NOC staff have been dispatched to take a look and replace it. You shouldn't notice anything wrong on the site, though!

This is our first disk failure, I'm kind of proud! It's like we're all grown up.

(I realize this isn't really development related...but I thought it was fun.)
