Host7 appears to have been hit by fs corruption as well. The machine is being powered off to prevent any more corruption from happening.

Host7 should be online shortly. I will be taking some time to make sure the machine is in good shape before rebooting the Linodes.

Linodes have been restarted.

Some file corruption may have occured. Please check your /lost+found directories for orphaned files. Also, I don't see how this could have been any more severe. There are Linodes that lost files, potentially even entire filesystems.

If your Linode won't boot, there are a few things you can do. First, boot connect to the console, perhaps in single user mode (edit your config profile). You may very well be able to repair/fix your filesysem. If that fails, I suggest resizing your filesystem if you need to make room to deploy another fs (Debian will be the smallest), add your old root fs to your config and salvage what you can.

I'll work up some kind of reimbursement or extra disk space for the trouble this has caused.
