Outage day today. No big news there on the mysql backup/compression front. We're busy building indexes that were lost during the pulse table rebuild, so that's adding some load to the science database. That may slow splitters/assimilators down at points over the next few days. We shall see. I did shut down server milkyway for good today, which was our last solaris system still running. This makes me sad. In general, I still prefer solaris over linux, for what that's worth. And I definitely have had much better luck with Sun hardware than with anything else. Lost in radar/ntpckr coding, hence the short note today. Now I have to catch a bus... - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

I did shut down server milkyway for good today That would explain why I can't get any work over there and Travis has been missing. me@rescam.org |

... So go ahead install solaris on Thumper and use ZFS - should be a lot easier than the md-device juggeling of last week... ;) mic. ![]() |

... ... except that means that SETI would be running two different operating systems instead of standardizing on one Linux distro. |

... Then put Solaris on them all. |

... except that means that SETI would be running two different operating systems instead of standardizing on one Linux distro. If they were asking me, I'd say some sort of BSD seems appropriate. |

Just as a side comment you might want to look at Scientific Linux: https://www.scientificlinux.org/ It is built off the Red Hat source and is controlled by CERN & FERMI. It is the distro. that we will be migrating to for the ISS (International Space Station) PCS (Portable Computer System) OS in the near future. |
