first issue: sql-s1 change. we will shortly be changing s1 from yarrow to rosemary. if you have user databases on yarrow, these will *not* be copied over, and furthermore will be deleted when s3 is re-imported to yarrow. if you need to keep these databases, you need to dump them *now* using mysqldump, and either import them into the new s1 server after the change, or import them back into yarrow when s3 is reimported.
second issue: large home directories.
the following users have home directories larger than 10GB:

whether or not your name is on either of the above lists, but especially if it is, please look at what's using disk space in your home directory and clean out any old files you no longer need (for example, log files, old dumps, etc). don't delete anything you actually need, though.
if you need to store dumps or other large files, you can put them in the shared user store at /mnt/user-store instead of your home directory.

Hello, one of my tools needs my user database, but I can't check if they are on yarrow or not at the moment. Why do you not dump and restore all user databases?

My personal databases are empty and can be deleted.

I've taken mine to 15 MB.

Thank you for the information (I didn't know about the existence of that folder).

sorry, I'm not into server details, so how do I know, if I have user databases on yarrow? For my user databases I connect to "sql" and I don't think this is yarrow. Am I right, if I think, I got user databases on yarrow, if I connected for example to "enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org" and created a database there? Why is this possible at all? I thought that wasn't possible, but as you wrote about "user databases on yarrow" i'm confused.
Sincerely, Christian Thiele (apper)

yes, this is correct. if your user databases are on "sql", they are on zedler, not yarrow. if you created a user database on enwiki-p, it would be on yarrow, since yarrow is the current server for enwiki (s1).
Why is this possible at all?
it wasn't possible initially, but many users wanted to create private databases and join them to wiki databases (like enwiki). this wasn't possible when enwiki was a different server than "sql". so, we allowed users to create databases on other servers as well. (but these databases are not backed up, and can be lost at any time; user databases on "sql" are backed up nightly.)
