Posted 2 Jul 2008 by joenova Post: Today's Tuesday, which means we went through the usual database cleanup/backup outage. That went smoothly. As I may have already noted before, the replica mysql server has been regularly failing when actually writing the dump to disk. Our suspicion was that this server was having difficulty reaching the NAS via NFS - and mysql has been ultra-sensitive to any NFS issues. The master server doesn't have this problem, but maybe that's because it's attached to the NAS via a single switch (as opposed to the replica, which is going through at least three switches). Anyway.. we dumped the replica database locally and it worked fine. Our theory was strengthened, though not 100% confirmed. Hi, I'd just like to drop a line and mention that I thoroughly enjoy reading these technical reports. I'm an IT junkie and I love the frequent glimpse into the SETI back-end systems. I used to run SETI classic, but somehow got out of the habit of installing it when doing a fresh OS. Glad to be back on the project. Thanks for the great tech info Matt! |

Posted 1 Jul 2008 by joenova Post: Funny stuff! I just saw it on Lazytown as well while watching TV with my son! It was the unmistakable SETI@home classic. Glad to know I'm not the only over-observant parent! For those that are interested, it was on the episode where Robby Rotten scans himself into Pixel's computer. It may be in other episodes as well that feature Pixel's bedroom, which is chock full of computers and monitors. |
