Another Long Weekend (May 29 2007)

Yesterday (Monday) was a university holiday. Usually this long weekend means vacation and travel but me, Jeff, and Eric were on line fighting one annoying problem after another. None of the recent problems were hardware related - all software/OS/network. Among other things: 1. penguin (an older Sun still acting as our sole download server) starting having NFS issues like kryten in days of yore, 2. some reboot somewhere tickled an MTU configuration problem on bruno/ptolemy, and 3. the slow feeder query problem reared its ugly head again. We were completely mystified by the latter, and spent a lot of time bouncing databases and compressing tables all weekend to no avail. This morning we changed the feeder to submit the select query in a different format to better use its indexes. MySQL query optimization is kinda random, both in implementation and in results, to say the least. As it stands now we wrapped up our usual database outage and are recovering from that, and the load is causing all kinds of headaches on penguin which required two reboots so far. Hopefully this will all push through at some point.

Jeff and I finally made a thorough current power analysis in our closet and determined if we had power overhead for some of our newer servers. We do, and we'll try to get those in soon as that may help our general networking woes.

boinc2 = penguin = download server. This is basically the main focus of our woes right now, and the reason why you can't download the workunits you have been scheduled to pick up.
