Timing (Apr 03 2008)

Minutes after I went to bed last night the BOINC mysql database server crashed. This has happened before - some kind of kernel panic. The upshot of it was that we were offline all night until Jeff (who wakes up far earlier than I) kicked the system early this morning. And then it took mysql about six hours to do all its checks and clean itself up. Once back up, we found the master and replica servers were ever so slightly out of sync, which was no surprise. We're continuing to run this way for now - but with all queries aimed at the master. This way the replica (if it continues to work beyond update conflicts) will still be an adequate-enough safety net until we re-copy its database from the master early next week.

Meanwhile, spent the morning doing other stuff while the project was down. Like tightening up various aspects of our source code management. Or working on the data recorder to ensure raw data files have even numbers of blocks (blocks are written in groups of two, with the radar blanking signal for both in just one of them - so files with odd numbers of blocks may be missing blanking signals at the end, thus rendering that last block useless). And Eric had to give a tour of the lab to prospective Ph.D. students. It's things like these (which I usually fail to mention) which occupy most of our time - eating up a half hour here, a half hour there... Of course before we have visitors Jeff and I have to drop everything and actually clean up the lab - piles of KVM cables recently removed from the server closet, random DIMMs too small to use, on every possible flat surface O'Reilly manuals (or good ol' K&R) lying open to specific pages, empty soft drink containers...

In any event, recovery (yet again) is happening now. Hopefully as the weekend approaches there will be a wee bit more stability in our server closet. Of course I just sent out about 25K of those "please come back" e-mails yesterday. It's all about timing.

Thanks for the stats, Rattledagger! 😀

 

[bryanW1995]

amazingly, I'm still holding steady at 5k/day even without the opty 180 any more. Can't wait to throw in the X3350 this weekend... then I need to find a deal on a G0 quad b/c the e6750 is going as soon the Q6600 arrives... 🙂

I keep waiting for the old job to notice that their x2 3600+ and x2 4000+ are crunching during off-peak hours...hehe...
