Rudy and Spider (Feb 28 2008)
Fully recovered from the long outages earlier this week. I also employed more assimilators (and even more just now) to try to capitalize on periods of low I/O to help catch up on the big assimilator queue backlog. Seems to be working, sort of. We also changed the mount flags on the database volume to include "noatime" - we'll see if this actually makes a difference in performance.
Jeff and I are still getting beyond the router config. One of our roadblocks was using cables that were gigabit capable mixed with ones that were not (once again it's cheap parts causing the headache). We might actually be ready to go except we have to upgrade the super-long cable going from our closet to the main lab server closet, which is inaccessible to us. Waiting on the appropriate parties to handle that.
Regarding hardware/software RAID: We tend to shy away from hardware RAID as we've had many nightmares in the past regarding configuration and implementation. Namely, it takes forever to figure it out, and then drives fail spuriously and/or silently. The software RAID hit isn't enough to make us consider going hardware on our current systems any time soon.
