They are saying that linodes are on their way back up. Not mine though... alas. Anyone else have any more luck?

Nope. Ours has been down for over 2 hours now - and it's nearly an hour since the 'linodes are on their way up' message :(

Just got a message saying that the server is booting up .... 3 hours :(

Knowing the Linode team's development pathway and philosophy, it is likely this outage will force them to offer redundancy as their standard offering. Backup was unavailable for a long time and now it is standard.

If by standard, you mean you have to pay for it, prorated to the Linode disk space size, then yeah, it's standard.

I noticed this an hour later because my monitor script was set up in the same datacenter. Lesson learned.

I have zero affiliation with the group, apart from being a casual user but http://wasitup.com/ has come in handy for me quite often. Even for free, it'll do a check 20 times an hour.

Another vote for wasitup.com. I use wasitup.com, host-tracker.com, and basicstate.com, and wasitup.com is consistently the first one to report an outage, followed by basicstate, which has a surprisingly gloomy and odd interface, yet good service, and then followed by host-tracker.com, which sucks pretty much on all levels. All are free btw.

Going on 4 hours of downtime here, this is a disaster. Linode used to be really honest about the status of things, this time, they claim "most linodes should be booted" which seems not to be true.

3:30am (EST): Some hosts were damaged by the power outage and we are working on moving these Linodes to hot standby equipment.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would, if I could ssh to my linode.

That is an IRC channel. You shouldn't need your linode to use IRC?

I access irc via screen + irssi on my linode box. I'm in the same boat as him right now. Revering to prgmr for irc for the time being.
