Technical News, and SETI@home daily stats for 07.11.2007.

[Rattledagger]

Köhntarkösz (Nov 06 2007)

Another Tuesday, another regular weekly database backup outage. The web/data servers were in a funky state for a while there as we encountered some random minor issues. First, some new web code was wrongly accessing the database when the project was explicitly in "no db" mode. Dave fixed that. I also found some typos in the host_venue_action.php script (thanks to bug reports on this forum). I fixed that. And I also rebooted the scheduling servers during the outage to make sure the new load balancing regime worked with intervention upon restart. It did. I also fixed the "connecting clients" page again (hopefully for good this time). Also moved the db_purge archives to a different file system (as planned per yesterday's tech news item). And I effectively thwarted future complaints about our weekly outage starting too early/late by eliminating any mention of exact times. Ha ha.

Other than that, still working on data pipeline automating scripts. Also spent a chunk of time helping the tangentially related CASPER Project upgrade their server's OS to one was supported by our lab-wide data backup servers.

And as for that one post about "setifiler1"... A keen observer found "setifiler1" in all the pathnames relating to various recent errors. This is a red herring - setifiler1 is just a network attached storage server containing, among other things, many home accounts and web pages. So if any possible error shows up anywhere about anything, chances are the string "setifiler1" will appear in the pathname of the script/executable in question.

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

Thanks for the stats, Rattledagger!
And the output has been over 160 K for quite a few days now ...

And I effectively thwarted future complaints about our weekly outage starting too early/late by eliminating any mention of exact times. Ha ha

matt REALLY needs to spend some time outside the office..

we'd better watch out or we'll crack the top 15 again!
