Okay today wasn't so great, but it could have been worse. Eric had continuing problems with ewen so he tackled that for a couple hours this morning, finally getting the thing to recognize its new SCSI drives upon reboot. The general network malaise that happens when ewen is offline masked the fact that, like before, BOINC mysql database server jocelyn suddenly rebooted itself for no apparent reason, causing the mysql engine to shut down ungracefully and requiring a lengthy cleanup. So that's why we were offline most of the day. Upon recovering the replica server (sidious) was out of sync - no big surprise there but that means we'll have to rebuild the replica database yet again. What a pain! In theory we should be able to swap relation between these two servers easily during such crises, but we haven't gotten a well oiled procedure in place yet for that. Maybe we'll start running drills on this soon. Thing is we didn't want to get fancy as we're near the end of the week, people are bogged down with the proposal, and I'm actually going out of town tomorrow for a quick private corporate gig in LA so I'm going to be completely out of touch for the next 40 hours starting.... now! - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.
