drop your unneeded mysql tables
by River Tarnell 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, the large size of user databases on the sql server is causing backups to take a long time to finish, which impacts s2 replication while it's running. if you have old tables which are no longer needed, please drop them. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAknjr/IACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJTQQCePCAkbXBkVZgdNE7g2QNPtlh7 zrsAn0SnMZ1Zvuopn6yVIfSynXR5/B4k =2w2y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

mytop replacement: rmytop
by River Tarnell 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, i've installed a mytop replacement called rmytop on nightshade. compared to mytop, rmytop: * doesn't flicker when updating the screen when there are a large number of threads * is faster * can connect to multiple servers at once and show queries from all of them * uses $HOME/.my.cnf instead of requiring its own configuration file * doesn't corrupt your terminal display by printing random garbage to the screen * is actively maintained to view multiple servers at once: $ rmytop -h sql-s1 -h sql-s2 -h sql-s3 at some point i'll probably replace mytop with a symlink to rmytop. if rmytop is missing any features you like from mytop, say so now. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAknj+58ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJ97ACffjslxV/7ea6eCWzndurFTHYi XewAn2+01LfIbbQwI90JsQUYaYUcw2iy =X108 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

zedler was rebooted
by River Tarnell 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, zedler (the s2 and /home NFS server) was rebooted for maintenance. this might improve the slow NFS performance seen recently on the login server. the outage time was approximately 15 minutes. additionally, we are testing NFSv4 instead of NFSv3 for /home on wolfsbane (the web server). if this shows no problems, we will deploy it on nightshade as well. again, NFSv4 should improve NFS performance for users. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (HP-UX) iEYEARECAAYFAknepFkACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJBrACfccObgGdJS1zAvd4/LYcz75O3 AukAn2jDcRk28ToAk+QaW1vuskDTZOyZ =VLSw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
