Busy weekend. On Thursday afternoon our mail server up and died. We were planning on replacing it anyway but this more or less forced the issue. We are still in the process of recovery and dealing with configuration complexities. Mail behavior is mostly normal at this point, with occasional unexpected quirks that need to be ironed out.

On Sunday, our upload server (kryten) lost the ability to NFS mount another machine and this had a domino effect on the whole server back end. This has been a problem before (the sudden loss of NFS mounts) with far less tragic results, but the solution for this was and still is rather simple: reboot the machine. However, upon reboot the RAID device storing the uploaded results forced a resync, so we stopped the project for a few hours to let this happen in peace. Once back on line, the backlogged traffic caught up relatively quickly.

In general, server uptime has been excellent over the past 6-12 months when compared to days of yore. So naturally as soon as we started sending out a mass mail to inactive users asking them to rejoin the project, several servers decide to flake out on us. Talk about bad timing. Oh well.

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...
