hi,
backups of user home directories (/u01/u/) and mysql databases (u_*) are now
being made daily to another host. as well as protecting against disk
failures, this means that deleted files can be restored, if necessary.

Hi!
I'd like to do some statistics based on the database dumps, so I'd need
a lot of more disk quota (50GB would be fine or at least 2GB for the
cur-dumps :-). It's better to only mirror dump files at one place so I
created the directory
/u01/u/voj/dumps
that is also accesible via
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~voj/dumps/
Unfourtunately I have not been able to add header and footer to the the
directory listing - I made .htaccess and readme readable and writable
for the whole users group - maybe someone can help? We can also move the
dumps directory to another location.
Since you can generate a huge amount of data when analysing the dumps I
wrote a lot of scripts to pipe the date from one task to another. Here
is first example:
/u01/u/voj/dumps/tools/catlinks.pl wp eo 20051009 | wc -l
By the way it's much more faster to bulk import tab-seperated data into
a MySQL database than using INSERT statements.
Greetings,
Jakob
I'd like to start back up with the Wikipedia Signpost RSS feed [1]. It's
python, runs once a day, and requires three modules: PyRSS2Gen,
BeautifulSoup, Scrape 'N' Feed
Will simply posting a request to this list be the standard way for handling
these things in the future?
