EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE - Today, 6/1/11 @ 6:30pm for 2-3 hours [RESOLVED]

Dear Members - firstly apologies for the trouble this afternoon. One of our database servers went down and a combination of factors caused the service to drop out. Our slave database server has been found to have a corrupt disk and we are going to need to rebuild the slave from the master. This will require some downtime whilst we synchronise the data to the slave. During this time the service will be unavailable. Thank you for bearing with us whilst we complete this important task.
23:00 - Service has been restored and we are now running a 3-database cluster (vs the 2 before). There are few further housekeeping duties but we are cautiously optimistic that there should be no further interruptions tonight. We will be scheduling another shorter window in the near future to complete the final steps in this operation. Thank you all so much for bearing with us whilst we completed this crucial update.
