Hey folks,
I was running a script to update the revert tables on db1047 with stat1 two
days ago that had some bad disk access patterns. (FYI, don't use python
shelve as an on-disk cache of a dict().) As soon as I saw the load come
up, I killed the script. For any difficulty that occurred in the meantime,
I'm very sorry. I've since re-written things to behave much better.
I currently have two processes running on the machine:
- sessions.py - Updating session table on db1047. Useful for measuring
editor labor hours.
- reverts.py - Updating revert tables on db1047. Fixed to not need a
disk cache.
Both of these processes are nice'd, so they should wait in line for CPU
access behind any non-nice'd processes you have running. If the processes
cause any trouble, please feel free to kill them or let me know and I'll
kill them.
For Science,
-Aaron
