River Tarnell:
I'm currently copying user-store to a new disk
array; this should be
finished in a couple of days. I hope the new array will be faster, as
well as much larger. There will be a separate maintenance notice for
the actual switch later.
This is done now; in the end I did the switch without a maintenance.
Some data is still copying (should be done in about 4 hours), so it'll
be slower until then.
Once the move is done, in additional to having more
storage now (about
14TB), it will be much easier to add additional storage in the future.
However, I don't think having a single 14+ TB filesystem is a good idea
(the initial volume will be 5TB), so I'm considering new ways to split
up the storage.
Well, no one commented on this, so I propose the following:
* Dumps will go in /store/dumps/<wiki>/
* Page view stats will go in /store/stats/
* Everything else will go in /store/misc/
Symlinks from the old locations will prevent breaking tools which access
data in its current location. Projects which need a lot of disk space
(say, 100GB+) will be able to request a volume at /store/<whatever>/ for
their files.
