So word on the street is that AIOE had a disastrous RAID array failure.
RAID drive systems are supposed to be fixable by just putting in a new drive to replace a failing one, but there was evidently more failure than one drive.
Anyway, they may be down for a good while as it looks like they will be rebuilding their server from scratch. Here's a thread about it.

Even when you use RAID systems, you still have to pay attention.

When a drive fails, you have to replace it - because it's not R(edundant)AID(rives) anymore. ;-)
When the second one fails, you're still screwed...
Oh well, we can still meet here on eternal-september ;-)

Sounds like is what happened, and it wasn't Paulo's server, it was some leased server in Germany so the SysOps are the ones who failed at detecting and replacing the bad drives.
