Database crash

[Steve St.Laurent]

Aaaargh - it looks like the database crashed right after I went to bed last night and I slept in extra late this morning (catching up on sleep I've lost the last week and a half). I had changed a bunch of the MySQL settings up because of the additional RAM and it obviously didn't like something. I've set them back closer to what they were set at before and I'll tweak them more slowly. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Did this cause some data loss? I noticed a whole bunch of posts I made this morning have disappeared!

It looks like some posts were lost - I just got an email about one. I couldn't get into the database on the main server at all to see when the posts stopped. The last posts on the slave server were around 12:30 am and looking at the logs it looked like that was about the time that the database crashed. I restored the database from the slave - so anything posted after 12:30 am eastern time or so would be lost. What time did you make those posts?
