New maintenance policy
by River Tarnell 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In the past some users have complained that we don't have a regular maintenance policy, so it's difficult to plan long tasks around downtime. To solve this, we will be implementing the following maintenance schedule: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Maintenance_schedule The main result of this is that there will be one period of downtime per month, which users will be able to plan for in advance without needing maintenance notices (since the next maintenance dates can be easily calculated). This will not eliminate all unscheduled downtime, since there are sometimes issues that need to be fixed immediately, but we hope it is an improvement over the current situation. We are also looking at ways to reduce the impact of maintenance (such as reboots) in the future. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzEfjEACgkQIXd7fCuc5vKtrgCfZDJ+JzwKOwqi1YWpxCK6yrs1 nL8AnRzcNCvrzQS3gq81gtlhmF9+kB86 =S5cF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Maintenance on web services

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Web services (JIRA, FishEye, MediaWiki) are currently offline while we move the host machine (amaranth) to a different rack. This should take less than an hour. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkyrcBQACgkQIXd7fCuc5vK30QCZAWJK/32cfK8MFQpE93aZl7Vi fjQAoJdRz7b56f54nXJ6W6LP9pYuloZ8 =HT0O -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

s4 replication lag
by River Tarnell 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, There was ~1.5 hours of replication lag on s4 (commons) on all servers, starting around 1600h UTC, because Wikimedia upgraded the s4 master to MySQL 5.1, and trainwreck (our replication tool) does not understand the 5.1 binlog format. I have now added support for this format, and replication has restarted. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkyrYD4ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vKVdACfVfToeIz7AojchllhyeiQyuUD x5YAn2spR0SKgUMnXLkCJbojZTc6oIcA =6l/o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
