hi,
the user database server (zedler) has run out of space on the MySQL filesystem; however, there is still 250GB free in the InnoDB table space. to reclaim this free space, we need to dump the reload the database. the database will be inaccessible while this is in progress.
based on the time taken to run nightly backups, the dump should take about 5 hours. however, i will run it in parallel to improve performance. it will take a bit longer to reload it afterwards.
after the reload, i will not restore the commonswiki replica that was previously on the sql server. the correct way to join user databases to commons is to create them on the sql-s4 server.
