Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Linode experienced an 18-hour incident across multiple global regions where host job performance degradation caused delayed and failed operations on Linodes, including Block Storage volume attach/detach hangs, timeouts, and errors. The impact was broader than initially identified, affecting various Linode actions beyond just Block Storage. A fix was implemented and the incident was resolved after no further degradation was observed.

Our team is investigating an issue affecting the Block Storage service in several data center regions. This issue largely impacts attaching and detaching Block Storage volumes. During this time, users may experience volume attach/detach hangs, timeouts and errors with this service. We will share additional updates as we have more information.

We would like to update that after additional investigation, the impact would manifest in delayed and sometimes failed host jobs, which could include many different actions on Linodes and not only impacting attaching and detaching Block Storage volumes as we mentioned in our initial update, we have updated the title to reflect the updated impact. We are working quickly to implement a fix, and we will provide an update as soon as the solution is in place.
