> Reddit was down for a while yesterday and they had 2 failures - one was EBS (they use Amazon EC2 and EBS) failing.
>
> Then they had another failure where somehow their slave PG databases got ahead of the master. They are using Londiste
forreplication and the only thing I can think of is EBS must have been lying about fsync on the master, so some
transactionswere lost there.

> I don't see them posting on the lists much, maybe we should reach out to them as Reddit is a rather popular site
nowadaysand it could be some good exposure for PG. (They are also using Cassandra)
