Hello all,
for historical reasons s2 and s5 are together on one host (cassia). Because cassia is quite overloaded, the sharing will end soon and I will move s2 away. For this I need your help because s2 and s5 share also the user-databases and there is not hint which user-database is needed where. So if you use user-databases for joining with s2 (two!) please add the name of the user-database to [1] until
Friday, 8. February 18:00 UTC.
It will take only a few minutes to add your user-databases there, so please do it. If you do not your user-databases there your tools will break after the split, but of course that can be fixed later.
Sincerely, DaB.

Hello all,
I successfully created a new copy of s2 on one of the new servers, it is working as sql-s2-rr at the moment (no commons/wikidata for join at the moment). As next step I will move the user-databases at [1] over, making it sql-s2-user. For that I need to put cassia into read-only. This will happen after
Saturday, 15:00 UTC.
Depending how big the user-databases are, the moving will take a while or not. After the user-databases are imported at z-dat-s2-b (the new s2-copy) I will drop s2 at cassia – so if you have something like connect("cassia") in your code you should change that NOW to connect("sql-s2-user") (or "sql-s2-rr" if you need no user-databases – or to make it perfect use something like connect("nlwiki-p.rrdb.toolserver.org")). I will message you when cassia is back to read/write.
Sincerely, DaB.
P.S: You can still add your user-databases at [1] if needed.

Hello all,
the split is done. s2 and s5 are not longer together (but they announced to be "just friends" in future). For the users for which I moved user-databases: I will let the user-databases stay at cassia for another week. If you can find a moment of time: Please check if the moving was correct (I doubt that there are any problems, but you never know) and drop your user-databases at cassia if so. I imported wikidata at the new s2 yesterday (but forgot to create a view, which is done now). I will check if there is enough disc-space left to also import commons.
A more unpleasant news: I received a SMS by Nosy telling me that she is in the hospital for at least 1 week. Let us all hope that she and her child will be better soon!
Sincerely, DaB.

:(
Do you know who was who needed hospitalization? I hope it was not her baby. I wish all your family gets healthy soon, Nosy.
