Here at RadioReference.com had a MySQL Master server which is hosted on AWS East in the N. Virginia data center inexplicably crash on us right after the earthquake. The server uses a RAID-0 Stripe across 4 EBS instances and has been running for over a year without a reboot. And, we were featured on CNN live right after the quake as a source for breaking news information. We're scaled to handle a traffic floods because we get them occasionally when something big happens public safety wise, but I'm really wondering whether or not this crash was due to a huge influx of people or some hardware anomaly during the quake (frozen disk, network problem etc) A reboot of the server and an INNODB recovery fixed the issue, and all is fine now.
