SETI@home-outage 21.02.2007 from 17 GMT.

[Rattledagger]

February 20, 2007
There will be an outage tomorrow (February 21st) starting around 17:00 UTC for network upgrades. If all goes well, we will only be offline for about an hour.

Technical News:

We aborted the isaac upgrade midstream - we need to order new bigger drives after all. So that'll be put on hold again, probably until next week. In brighter news, it's looking more and more like the recent database tuning has vastly helped "grease the wheels" in our server backend. Bob should write up his observations at some point.

We're still on for the big network cutover tomorrow. I put a warning on the home page about a potential short outage. Sometimes I wonder if these warnings are helpful. Most people don't notice when we are offline, so are we just inciting confusion and panic? Others are angry if we don't acknowledge our down time and see this as insulting indifference to our users. None of us here at the lab claim to be experts at public relations and social engineering, so what you're left with is whatever we happen to feel is appropriate at that time (if we have the time).

Ooo! Eric just popped in with donated hardware (memory, motherboard, CPUs) so we'll try to sync up tomorrow and do simultaneous upgrades of ewen and sidious.

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind...


Late stats-dump yesterday and early to-day means low numbers all-around...

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the numbers and the heads-up! 😀

(I have seen it on the home page some minutes ago ... you are fast, Rattledagger!) 😀

 

[Assimilator1]

Thanks for the stats & info RD 🙂

Starfire seems to closing more ...........
