Boiling Down Chicken Soup (Sep 11 2007)

Outside of discussion about not-too-distant-future database replication, we didn't really need to think much today about the science database server that has been giving us grief the past week. As mysterious as the initial fake drive failures were, it's even weirder that they suddenly stopped altogether. I fully tested the "failed" drives - they're fine.

Anyway.. we had the usual outage today which was mundane except I took the time to move some of the directories off the workunit file server and onto a lesser used server. We already have all the workunits hashed out over 1024 directories, so it's easy to move whole directories and make sym links and everybody's happy. However, these directories are HUGE (of course) so it took about 3 hours to move only 64 of them (going about 40 Mbits/sec over the local network during the transfer). We weren't ready to have the project down for a whole day so we'll leave it at that for now. So, we offloaded 6.25% of the traffic from the bottlenecked file server so far. We'll see if that changes anything.

Meanwhile, Jeff/Eric/I are doing some major cleanup on our internal software suites - so many nagging "make" issues to fix, so little time.

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 RD.

I bet that drive failure problem they had will come back
