Rebuilding s2/s5 Databases starting tomorrow

Rebuilding s2/s5 Databases starting tomorrow -------------------------------------------- Key: MNT-1132 URL: https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-1132 Project: Maintenance Issue Type: Emergency work Security Level: Public (all users) (Any user can view this issue (default)) Components: daphne Reporter: Marlen Caemmerer The s2/s5 database host daphne runs out of disk space quite soon. We have huge ibdata files there so we will rebuild them. After that there should be an incredible amount of free disk space. The process of rebuilding the files will probably take a lot of hours so the maintenance window would be starting tomorrow (Friday) 11 PM UTC and ending on Sunday 11 PM UTC. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Maintaince-Window 9. Nov
by DaB. 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hello all, some time pasted since our last maintaince-window in June, so hereby I announce the next maintaince-window for Wednesday, 9. November between 16:00 and 20:59 UTC. During this time some software will be updated, server will get rebooted and services may be broken or away. The biggest change will be that we move back from ZEUS to apache – a test-enviroment is setup at the moment and will be ready at 2. November at lastest (I will announce details in a later eMail). If you have suggestions for software that should be updated (like php, perl, mono or something), please fill in a JIRA-bug [1] and tag/label it with "maintaince-window" until 2. November. The roots will list what will be updated/changed/removed at [2]. Sincerly, DaB.

cronie daemon down in willow and nightshade
by Platonides 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Seems the daemon of cronie is not running in willow nor nightshade. Listing the processes with cron name, there's only /usr/sbin/cron which seems to be the daemon for sun crontab. >From clematis process list (where cronie does continue running, so jobs sent from submit were probably not affected), it seems the daemon which should be running is /opt/ts/sbin/crond.

Fwd: [TS] Killed SQL-Task 15424132 on db-server z-dat-s6-a

Looks like SLOW_OK mark is not recognized for INSERT queries. The query below is marked as SLOW_OK, but unlike to SELECT like queries, report shows just space doubled where the mark was set. All tables in the query below are user tables, I cannot imaging which way such a query would cause any replag increase. mashiah On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 2:40 AM, <no-reply(a)toolserver.org> wrote: > Hello mashiah, > a MySQL-query of yours was killed because you didn't mark it as SLOW_OK and it have run for 609 seconds which was longer than allowed. > You can find the query below.

Fwd: [TS] Killed SQL-Task 15233729 on db-server z-dat-s6-a

Once again, a question on query killer. Below its report informs that with near-zero replag a very simple count(*) only query on s6 takes too long, and the killer expects SLOW_OK would help. I think something is wrong fundamentally once such a query takes that long, and there is no reason to add SLOW_OK and wait even longer. mashiah ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <no-reply(a)toolserver.org> Date: Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 1:28 AM Subject: [TS] Killed SQL-Task 15233729 on db-server z-dat-s6-a To: mashiah(a)toolserver.org Hello mashiah, a MySQL-query of yours was killed because you didn't mark it as SLOW_OK and it have run for 853 seconds which was longer than allowed.

SGE-Problems?
by DaB. 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello all, few days ago I changed a script of SGE [1] to solve some problems. The munin- graphs looks much better now, but of course they don't show everything, so hereby I ask you: Has anyone had problems with SGE in the last 3 days? That's include cronsub. BTW: If you run a bot, try to move it into SGE; nightshade is quite busy from time to time already. Sincerly, DaB.

Combined contribs?
by Manish Goregaokar 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Does anyone know of a tool that shows "Combined contributions" of a bunch of users (similar to how a warchlist/RecentChangesLinked shows the 'combined history' of a bunch of pages) If the tool doesn't exist, could someone please see if it can be coded? We need it to monitor the edits of all students in the [[WP:IEP]]. It should take a page with a bunch of username links as an input and display a watchlist-like output. I'd write it myself, but I'm quite busy at the moment. Thanks, Manish*Earth* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Manishearth>*Talk* • Stalk<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Manishearth>
