Weirder (Sep 06 2007)

Guess what? A *second* drive on thumper failed this morning, around the same time the other drive failed yesterday. This system is on service, so we should get some replacements soon. But there's no obvious signs of why these two failed so close in succession. They were both on the same drive controller, but there's a 15% chance of that happening at random. The temperatures all look sane.

In better news, we got to the bottom of the weird splitter sequence number problems I spotted yesterday. Now that we understand what happened and why this really isn't a problem at all. Basically, data that was meant to be tacked on the tail of one raw data file ended up at the start of the next file instead. No biggie.

As far as those overflow workunits taking forever... Jeff and Eric wrote some code (and checked it twice) to scour the database for such workunits and "cancel" them. Immediately we saw our pipelines flood with requests for new work.. so expect some delays for a while. We hope to eventually give credit to those who got stuck with these troubled workunits.
