Hello all,
like announced we have set up a temporary workaround for the user-store until
hemlock is fixed. It should work now, the only exception is willow. I can't
mount or umount the user-store on willow and the directory looks strange. So I
hereby announce a reboot of willow for tomorrow,
Friday, 16:00 UTC.
The downtime should be 10 minutes. You can follow the process at [1].

Hi.
For local testing I would like to set up a small extract database of osm
data with the same style as it has been used at the toolserver.
Therefore I need
- the style file used for importing
- any unusual options used (I know about -k (hstore containing all tags)
and about the prefix (sure), anything else?
Would be great to get more details about that.
regards
Peter
Hello all,
hemlock had another disc-problem and needed a emergency-reboot. It is back in
action now (more or less) but it lost one of its partitions. This partition
carries the user-store. A check-up (fsck) is running at the moment and it will
take a while to complete (I guess the hole european night). Most things should
work, but nothing that needs /mnt/user-store.
I will send an update when the user-store is back.
Sincerely,
DaB.

Hello all,
like announced on last Sunday I hereby announce a maintenance-window for
Monday, 20:00-22:00 UTC for the web-servers.
I will reboot hemlock a few times to try to find out why the web-servers are
not working if hemlock is away (and if I find it, I will fix it). All web-tools
will failing in times when hemlock is (re-)booting, other sub-systems (like
SGE) should working normal.
Sincerely,
DaB.

Hello,
as tomorrow is maintenance window anyway I will add more disk space to s2 and s5.
In the time of the work the databases s2 and s5 will not be available.
This will take about 1-1.5 hours and I will do it when DaB checks the hemlock & web server interaction
at 20 - 22 UTC.
Cheers

Hello all,
because of a kernel-upgrade I have to reboot our linux-boxes (nightshade,
yarrow and mayapple). This will happen tomorrow,
Monday, 19:05 UTC.
I will reboot the boxes one after the other, each reboot should not take more
than 10 minutes. If you use SGE (like you should) your task will either
migrate to another box or restarted automatically. If you have files open (like
in a editor), you should close them.
You can follow the process at [1].
Sincerely,
DaB.

Perhaps it is useful to summarize reasons why toolserver users are not
able to change to tool/bot labs. I added my main reasons. Perhaps other
can add their reasons, too? (Mabe we should also add this list to the
wiki page)
temporary blockers
* no replication of wikimedia wiki databases
** joining of user databases with wiki databases
* no support for script execution dependency (on ts: currently done by sge)
* no support for servlets
missing support blockers
* no support for new users not familar with unix based systems
* no transparent updating of packages with security problems/bug
permanent blockers
* license problems (i wrote code at work for my company and reuse parts
for my bot framework. I have not the right to declare this code as open
source which is needed by labs policy.)
* no DaB.
