Hello all,
s5 (dewiki) is the next cluster for re-setup. I already got a fresh dump from the WMF and imported it too on a server. The next step is to move the user- databases over. For this I have to switch s5 into read-only. The read-only- phase will start at
Tomorrow, Thursday after 13:00 UTC.
s5 carries a few very big user-databases, so I think the movement will take more an 1 day. Below is a list of the biggest user-databases, maybe their owners can take a look if some clean-up is possible? Unfortunately s5 can not stay at the new place because the server belongs to OSM. So a second read-only-phase will happen in near future (that one should be a bit faster because I will just rsync files around instead of importing).
Sincerely, DaB.

sorry I'm late (you have no idea how long it take a DIY-store-worker to cut some simple rectangle planks…). I will start immediately.

I just found (ok, Nosy pointed me) an eMail by Asher telling me that in addition to the movement of wikidata from s2 to s5 (see my other mail) the WMF also made some shema-changes on s5 (I guess only on wikidata, but not sure) which are not in the binlogs and therefor we have to re-import s5 to make sure we have all data. For this reason there will be no movement of the user-databases today (I will switch s5 back to read/write in a moment). I will message you again when we are ready but it will take at least 2 days. Most certainly we will also have no up2date wikidata-data for the same timeframe.
Sincerely, DaB.
