From Nugget's plan:

<< :: 13-Dec-2001 16:54 (Thursday) ::
Uptime on the stats box is a curious 13 hours which is a likely explanation
for why last night's stats run failed to complete. We'll kick off the
run cleaning up from any potential inconsistencies resulting from the
interrupted stats run. Thanks for your patience.

Which is also why I haven't posted any MM's today. Was just about to post why but found this thread instead.

Hopefully they're done before I hit the sack since it's already 10pm here :(

From decibel's plan file:

In preparation for moving stats from tally to blower, I'll be taking the
stats database off-line to copy the database files over to blower. I'm
hoping it will be less than 3 hours.

I hope blower is more stable than tally! :D

Blower's the Quad Xeon.;) If it's not more stable, at least it'll rebuild itself faster.:)

Down again. Seems they were just catching up just a few days ago. :(

I say go with a quad Itanium.... out with the Xeon. :p ;)

Ho humm... 9:36p Central... still no stats.

And no OGR since the 15th :(


Maybe they moved the files to "georgia" and the whole thing got shut down:Q

OK, I know how you feel. If it weren't for my own pProxy in-house and for Mika's stats pages I'd be going through some serious withdrawles right about now. I hope they figure out what's wrong with Blower and get it fixed quickly!

Though we've had some outages recently because of the migration from tally
to blower, the current outage is unrelated. According to PetrDoubt, the
switch between tally and the outside world has frozen up and needs to be
rebooted. I'm sure Petr will take care of it as soon as he can. In the
mean time, please be patient. Also, you can be sure that this will not
affect any stats totals - all the work is queuing up and will be reported
correctly when we catch up.

Moo!

Sounds like someone needs to learn to push a reset button! :p

Here's the latest chapter in the never ending saga:
decibel


<< :: 21-Dec-2001 22:14 (Friday) ::
There was a hiccup in the 12/18 rc5 logs, which caused processing to fail.
This also caused the ogr logs not to run.

I've fixed the problem, and rc5 is now running. Since it will probably
take a very long time for tally to catch up with rc5, I've turned the web
access off for right now.

The good news is that blower is currently building indexes for all of the
tables that have been copied over from tally, so we're getting closer to
having blower in production.

&szlig;G&oslash;d, any idea when they'll have the stats box up? I'm dying to see that my old addresses were retired properly.

We could always start a pool to see when the stats come up. :p

I don't have a clue when they'll come back up. If they're rebuilding tables on Blower, it could take a while. That is until they run out of locks, then we're back to square one. I'm just glad Mika didn't go down at the same time (knock on particle board).

Figures. It was probably my fault. I finally retire my old addresses from a year an a half ago, and boom it blows up. It hasn't seems to be too stable lately. Maybe they should consider using a distributed system to compile the stats. ;)
