FR: Scheduled Downtime Jan14 1am-3am PST

Posted on 01/13/2003 7:42:11 PM PST by John Robinson

Edited on 01/14/2003 3:39:44 AM PST by John Robinson. [history]

UPDATE 3:20am -- almost had the system back online at the scheduled 3am. Unfortunately, I ran out of time, so will need to schedule another hour tomorrow night.


We're planning a couple hours of downtime tonight for database maintenance. We're going to take a complete backup of the data files, reindex them, then reimage the slave servers, which should improve the overall performance of the system. During this time, the web server will be down.

As a sidenote, our comments table is very nearly 4 gigabytes (4,294,967,296 bytes) large. MySQL requires a magical invocation to exceed this sacred number. This is one other task we will perform tonight, dead chicken in hand.

Tylenol PM could be a big help too, Howlin. You could sleep through the downtime. LOL!

Washing them down with one of these might help also

That's a helluva donation, but who's gonna pay the monthly/yearly maintenance fee? Not implying it's you - the question just begs to be asked...
