Typical Tuesday outage day today (for database maintenance), and currently we're in the midst of smooth recovery from that, more or less. Things sometimes seem weirder on the server status page than they actually are, as the replica database (where we collect the stats) is too far behind the master. Sometime soon I'll add some stats to show this, hopefully thus refusing confusion (and fix the broken XML stuff while I'm at it).

Major improvements during the outage: Jeff put in some freshly compiled servers that went into beta last week, Bob rebuilt an index that has been missing on result for some time (used for occasional statistics Eric checks by hand), and I changed data selection priority to match between both Astropulse and Multibeam splitters (so they chew on the same files at the same time - and make it easier to determine who's splitting faster).

I also been busy with other sysadmin-y tasks. Moving accounts around (still), kicking one of our internal diagnostic cronjobs that has been hanging on stale lock files in /var/lib/rpm, data pipeline management (including shipping empty drives to Arecibo), and messing around with FC10.

Good to see that everything went smoothly for you after your break. Nothing too major to deal with is also a good sign and keeps you hopefully in that relaxed holiday season mood.

Do the new servers need names or have they been assigned already?

Thank you to all of you as always and for the information that you so generously devote some of time to posting here for us crunchers.

You Know You Know Mahavishnu Orchestra 1971 Rocked ;)

Yes it did, but this is a different song with the same title - I've been lost in Cheer-Accident's "What Sequel?" the past few threads (and a few more to come, I guess).
