Perhaps there would be an idea to initiate an other dev to be able to do such work.
it is not this easy as you think. For taking a dump, a db-slave of the wm- cluster has to taken away from the cluster. That means that the cluster miss one server and the other servers has to do more work. The new commons(=S4)- cluster have fewer server then the other cluster so taken one away is even more critical. So such a old could be only taken in low-traffic-times.
Sincerly, DaB.
How was commons splitted? Wouldn't that have required making a dump of the db to reimport it at the new cluster? If so... run to get a copy !
