Hi people; I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy Toolserver New Year. I hope we will develop many useful tools in the next year (remember small languages and projects like wiktionary ;)). Also, thanks to the Toolserver admins, keep up the good work. Best wishes, emijrp

Killing of many sql-connections on s1
by DaB. 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello all, today we run into a deadlock-situation on rosemary (that's the sql-server for s1 (that's primary the english wikipedia)) where many queries seems to block each other (see [MNT-60] for some details). To end this deadlock, I killed all queries, even the *SLOW-OK* ones. So if you had run a query between 12 o'clock and 16'o clock and it was killed, that was me, please restart it if needed. Sincerly, DaB. -- wp-blog.de

Unscheduled downtime, Wed 16th
by River Tarnell 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

hi, we had an outage of ~5 hours affecting all login servers from 04:15 UTC to around 09:30 UTC. the issue was fixed fairly quickly once noticed, but it took some time for an admin to be contacted. the outage was caused by a misconfiguration on the cluster which prevented switching the NFS service from a failed node to a working one. the misconfiguration has been fixed, so failover should work correctly in the future. (this was our first unscheduled cluster failover, so it hadn't been tested before.) a full description of the outage is available in MNT-56. - river.

ja, fr and ru moved to new s6 cluster.
by Daniel Kinzler 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hello all The Foundation moved three wikis, the ja, fr and ru Wikipedia, to their own cluster, s6. We have created sql-s6 as an alias for yarrow and updated server field for these wikis in the toolserver.wiki table accordingly (it will until tomorrow for this change to propagate to all server). The databases remain in the same place on the toolserver, that is, yarrow is handling both s3 and s6 now. This will remain the case for the forseeable future. If you have any per-server configuration, you need to account for the new location, sql-s6, now, since toolserver.wiki refers to that. Especially, if you have been using frwiki_p to estimate the replag for s3, you need to change this. frwiki_p can be used to estimate the replag for s6 now, for s3, please use eswiki_p. If you have any problems with this change, or any questions, please let us know. -- daniel

Re: [Toolserver-l] Fwd: [Toolserver-announce] Account-Extending December

The proper topic in JIRA I think is Toolserver I put my request in "account approval" and nothing happened until DaB moved it and then answered it by renewing me. You may want to move it :) To everyone else, you may want to let people know the proper topic in JIRA to use. :) Larry Pieniazek Hobby mail: Lar at Miltontrainworks dot com > -----Original Message----- > Message: 3 > Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2009 23:15:04 +0200 > From: Laszlo Kozma <lkozma(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [Toolserver-l] Fwd: [Toolserver-announce] > Account-Extending December > To: fahadsadah(a)gmail.com, toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Message-ID: > <bc5c5b2f0912051315j6ec7361dh5567d4fde7c8a615(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Thanks, > I have submitted an issue. > > The closest topic seemed to be the "account approval" / "new > accounts", although this is not a new account but one I had > since july. > > On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 8:19 PM, Fahad Sadah > <fahadsadah(a)googlemail.com> wrote: > > Please file a request in JIRA > > Fahad Sadah > > > > > > 2009/12/5 Laszlo Kozma <lkozma(a)gmail.com> > >> > >> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > >> From: Laszlo Kozma <lkozma(a)gmail.com> > >> Date: Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 8:11 PM > >> Subject: Re: [Toolserver-announce] [Toolserver-l] > Account-Extending > >> December > >> To: "DaB." <WP(a)daniel.baur4.info> > >> > >> > >> Hello, > >> > >> I have an account at toolserver.org on which I run wikipediavision > >> which is streamed live on the wikimedia.de server.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laszlo Kozma <lkozma(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 8:11 PM Subject: Re: [Toolserver-announce] [Toolserver-l] Account-Extending December To: "DaB." <WP(a)daniel.baur4.info> Hello, I have an account at toolserver.org on which I run wikipediavision which is streamed live on the wikimedia.de server. I was not aware that I needed to send an email to extend the account and I noticed now that the account stopped working and consequently wikipediavision has stopped updating. Could you please update my account or let me know what I should do in order to have it extended ? My account name is: lkozma Sorry for bothering, as I was traveling, I was late reading all the announcements.

account renewal
by Larry Pieniazek 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

which JIRA group should it be? I added my renewal request to "Account Approval" Perhaps that wasn't right? But that was my best guess. Please advise. Larry Pieniazek Hobby mail: Lar at Miltontrainworks dot com
