Reimport of wikidata, s5 will be stopped
by DaB. 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hello all, the WMF had some problems with one for their servers (db45). Unfortunately that’s the server we replicate s5 and wikidata of. Nosy fixed s5 already, but for wikidata it looks not that good – AFAIS a re-import is needed. For that reason I will stop the s5-replication WEDNESDAY, 20:00 UTC to create a dump and use Thursday to import wikidata everywhere again. You can follow the process at [1]. Sincerely, DaB.

Hi; I'm having login issues since some days ago. I'm trying ssh emijrp(a)login.toolserver.org and get password failures. I'm almost sure I have not changed my password... Can you verify that my account is OK? Thanks, emijrp

Large core dumps found in home directory
by Derrick Coetzee 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi all, I noticed today I had several large core dumps in my home directory, and two buried under my public_html directory. The directories I found them in contained no executables and as far as I know were not working directories for executables (just PHP scripts used by the web server), so I can't imagine how they got there. -rw------- 1 dcoetzee users 191463424 May 5 06:56 core -rw------- 1 dcoetzee users 38797312 Sep 29 2012 core This exceeded my hard quota without my knowledge. Any idea what's up with this? Can I prevent it from reoccurring? Thanks. -- Derrick Coetzee User:Dcoetzee

commonswiki_p corrupted
by Platonides 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Commons copy on s3, s4 and s6 are corrupted. The versions at s1 and s5 are not affected. Test case: mysql -h $server commonswiki_p -e "SELECT page_title FROM page where page_id=21683917" Good: +------------------------------+ | page_title | +------------------------------+ | Dworzec_główny_w_Gdyni.jpg | +------------------------------+ Bad: +----------------------+ | page_title | +----------------------+ | Dworzec_główny.jpg | +----------------------+ It looks like a range of statements from November 2012 weren't replicated. Other tests are: SELECT log_id, log_title, log_type, log_action FROM logging_ts_alternative where log_namespace=6 AND log_title='Dworzec_główny.jpg'" The wrong copies don't have «| 48917341 | Dworzec_główny.jpg | move | move |» (the other 7 entries appear in both) SELECT rev_id, rev_timestamp, rev_comment FROM revision where rev_page=21683917 The wrong copies don't have the last 4 revisions (all of them from 2012-11-03) 'Dworzec_główny_w_Gdyni_4.jpg', 'Dworzec_główny_w_Gdyni_3.jpg', 'Dworzec_główny_w_Gdyni_2.jpg' are similarly affected, shown as just Dworzec_główny_0X.jpg in the wrong dbs. Comparing the number of revisions per day, it seems to have fixed on 2013-11-04, with the 3 being the most noticeable (27746 revisions where they should have been 53974), a difference of 80 revisions the previous day, 200 on 2012-10-27... It should be possible to just copy the db from s1. s1 and s5 are probably sane due to the reimports on January and April. As an unexpected thing, sql-s2 and sql-s7 don't have a commonswiki_p copy. sql-s3 and sql-s6 don't have a commonswiki_p.revision table/view. I created https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1667
