* 23:48 Tim: removed binlogs 90-99 from srv123
* 18:25 Tim: fixed incorrect modification of $dbHostsByName in db.php. Commenting out a server from $dbHostsByName does not mark it down. Use $sectionLoads to do that.

== June 9 ==
* 14:30 jeluf: started jobs-loop.sh on srv100 srv102 srv103 srv104 srv105 srv106 srv106 srv108 srv109 srv111 srv112 srv113 srv114 srv115 srv116 srv119. Apparently there wasn't any jobs-loop running since the power outage

== June 3==
* 16:03 Tim: Samuel's slave thread was stopped for a while due to temporarily buggy MediaWiki code. Fixed it. Re-enabled slave status monitoring in nagios, set it up to enforce a policy of no slave running on old external stores.

*** It was before May 15, the server barely had room for 3 binlogs let alone 20.
* 14:11 brion: bugzilla migration done, but srv7 seems confused about dns and thinks isidore is bart. flush hosts had no effect

* 07:18 JeLuF: short network interruption (2 minutes) between KNAMS and PMTPA. Reason unkown.
* 05:15 Tim: srv7 (OTRS) is out of disk space again. I guess that's what you get for putting a 12GB ibdata1 file on a 20GB partition and waiting a few months.

== April 17 ==
* 22:10 brion: s1 switch done! starting db schema updates on db2...
* 21:44ish brion: s2 switch done! starting db schema updates on db8...
* 21:40 brion: rabanus disk full
* 21:27 brion: in midst of switch on s2; lomaria was not configured correctly per spec, holding while enabling binlog......
* 20:38 brion: preparing master switches on s1 and s2 to finalize db updates
* mark: Set cache_dir /dev/sda6 on all non-yaseo upload cache squids to read-only and increased the other 3 cache dirs from 10 GB to 15 GB
* 19:47 Rob: Rebooted thistle in to a memory test per domas. Will leave it running the test until tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning and check results.
* 19:46 Rob: rebooted srv91 per domas's request.
** Is back online as of 19:48 and will now accept SSH.
* 17:54 brion: switched oaiaudit group from thistle to db1; since yesterday's switch oai feeds were broken
== April 16 ==
* 22:20 Tim: removed langcomwiki from all.dblist on request from Pathoschild. 
* 20:03 mark: Doubled read_ahead_gap to 64KB on cache upload Squids, to buffer more data off amane
* 19:34 mark: Enabled socket debugging (5, 1) on frontend Squids
* 15:10 Tim: ran sync-fedora-mirror.sh with --delete enabled, to remove obsolete files. 
* 14:30 Tim: fixed /home/config/others/etc/yum.conf, was missing extras.
* 14:14 brion: noticed texvc compile failure on srv62, texvc install failure on srv117
* 14:05 brion: bad sudoers on srv150, 128, 58 (fixed)
* 06:00 domas: apparently thistle has hit our usual master problem :) switched master to db1.
== April 15 ==
* 19:21 mark: Set cache_dir /dev/sda6 on knsq9 to read-only and increased the other 3 cache dirs from 10 GB to 15 GB
* 12:32 - 15:30 mark: Wrote a patch for Squid that adds a min-size option to cache_dirs, so aufs cache dirs on upload squids only take large files that the COSS dirs will not accept, instead of anything based on a round robin / load balancing scheme. Built a squid-2.6.12-1wm5 deb and installed it on knsq8, not in the repository yet.
* 12:32 mark: Converted COSS swap dir /dev/sda6 into an AUFS dir (Reiserfs) on knsq8 for extra large files that don't fit in COSS dirs, as an experiment
== April 13 ==
* 23:40 Tim: set up *.wap.wikipedia.org, served by anthony.
== April 12 ==
* 22:00 Rob: racked and powered on mchenry and sanger, future mail servers. DRAC access is working.
* 19:00-ish Rob: Powered down srv66: it is having disk issues, either a bad drive or controller.
* 16:03 Hashar: csw2.knams came down for roughly 3 minutes.
== April 11 ==
* 17:20 Tim: fixed dewiki search
== April 10 ==
* 16:55 Rob: Turned up srv121, returned from SM with new mainboard. OS still nominal, and online. Needs to be synced and brought in to rotation.
* 16:44 Rob: Consoled srv137 and saw no I/O errors pointing towards failed HDD. Rebooted and it is now online. Noted this in its history so if it occurs again, HDD's will be tested.
* 16:43 Rob: Rebuilt array on db3 and reloaded the OS.
** Requires DEV attention. Server is online but not in rotation. Needs setup scripts run.
* 12:41 Rob: Rebooted srv66 as it was showing down in Nagios, as well as unresponsive to ssh and ping.
* 12:40 Rob: Rebooted srv58 per Datacentre tasks
== April 9 ==
* 19:19 brion: started batch regeneration of cu_changes tables; previous batch gen run broke on a lot of things
* 16:54 mark: db2 had trouble, noone else around so I depooled it. Without realizing that it's the master. ;) Fortunately ariel was set to read-only so I didn't do too much damage, and db2 recovered...
* 13:44 brion: putting db4 back in rotation, updates finished
== April 7 ==
* 20:35 Tim: upgrading apache to 1.3.37
* 11:05 mark: Taking db10 (Squid) out of production for reinstall as a DB
* 07:00 domas: db3 I/O crashed, needs repairs
* 03:40 brion: starting db udpates on db4, db3 done
== April 6 ==
* 20:24 brion: running manual rebuild of frwiki search
* 19:51 brion: search rebuild for srwiki was stuck FUTEX; killed it
* 14:11 brion: starting db updates on db3... db4 is last slave left after
* 13:13 domas: db9 on enwiki duty
* 11:38 mark: No incoming traffic via TWTC since a couple of hours. Removed outgoing AS prepend to diagnose.
* 08:18 domas: enabled write behind & adaptive read ahead on db6 :-/
* 04:38 Tim: upgraded Tidy on all apaches to a CVS snapshot designated 2007-04-02. They apparently don't do releases anymore.
* 04:23 Tim: repooled ariel
* 00:03 Tim: reduced buffer pool size on ariel from 6500MB to 6000MB.
== April 5 ==
* 23:30 Tim: removed ariel from rotation, mysqld crashed and is restarting
* 23:24 Tim: put db6 back in rotation
== April 4 ==
* 21:01 brion: killed pagelinks subdump on enwiki dump on srv31; was hung mysteriously

* 20:39 Tim: removed db6 from enwiki contributions group
* 18:47 brion: running db updates on db6 [3 and 4 remain left]
== April 2 ==
* 19:00 jeluf: removed binlogs 1-10 on thistle.
* 14:00ish brion: fiddling with dumps to use db7 to reduce load on db6
* 13:30 brion: started db updates on ariel (ixia done)
* 04:00 brion: started db updates on ixia (lomaria done)
== April 1 ==
* 21:35 mark: Enabled monitorurl and -timeout to have Squid monitor its cache peers whether they are up or down. In the past weeks we've seen several Squids not redetect uptime of parent caches, in some cases ending up with no available peers at all.
* 18:20 mark: Enabled caching on the frontend Squids. Even with the tiny 10 MB cache they have now, they achieve a 65% hit rate and thus all cache the (same) ~1000 hottest objects in memory without having to forward them to CARPed cache squids.
* 12:40 brion: started db updates on lomaria (holbach done)
== March 31 ==
* 05:12 brion: locked tlh.wiktionary.org per previous announcement (then unlocked it, let someone else fight, don't care)
* 02:25 brion: db updates starting on samuel (db5 done)
== March 30 ==
* 18:27 brion: db updates starting on db5 (adler done)
* 17:45 brion: batch-fixed links for the recent dump indexes
* 15:50 brion: db updates starting on adler
* 15:45 brion: ipmi-booted srv137, stuck again
* 14:17 brion: manual clearing on benet, still something is overflowing
* ... brion: db updates on webster
== March 29 ==
* 23:31 Tim: freed up a measly amount of space on amane by deleting backups. Was down to 60GB.
* 18:53 brion: running db updates on db7, will go on to tohers
* 18:10 jeluf: changed config on goeje, albert, pascal so that mail directed to wiktionary.org is accepted.
* 17:50 brion: updated lagtop to display current cluster assignments
* 17:01 Rob: Reloaded OS on srv131 after replacing bad HDD.
** Needs to have setup scripts run and brought into the rotation.
* 16:54 Rob: Reloaded OS on srv128
** Needs to have setup scripts run and brought into the rotation.
* 15:44 Rob: Rebooted srv50 per datacenter tasks page.
* 15:30 Rob: Rebooted srv122 as it was locked up and down on nagios, Machine Check Exception error.
* 15:12 Rob: Re-racked harris with rails.
** System was powered off, what purpose is this server currently being used towards?
* 02:15 Tim: Configured squid to send all requests for test.wikipedia.org to srv0
== March 28 ==
* 21:14 brion: fixed images for be-x-old (moved from be)
* 21:05 brion: adding small fields for March 2007 schema changelets on all dbs
* 18:46 brion: otrs hanging; srv7 db seems ot have issues. space?
** ok after i cleared out a couple gigs of binlogs. is this machine being replicated? do we have a backup plan for it?
* 17:59 brion: fixed broken links in (new) dumps, ones from last couple days still broken
* 17:00 mark: Set up wm07schols.wikimedia.org on friedrich by request of Austin, using the old wikimania htdocs.
== March 27 ==
* 21:24 Tim: removed closed-zh-tw.wikipedia.org from all.dblist
* 21:15 mark: Increased disk caches of text squids
* 16:04 brion: fixed be-x-old.wikipedia.org (moved ES around and tweaked config). srv131 appears to be acting up again w/ read-only filesystem
* 13:00 - 14:15 mark: knsq1 was giving out socket errors EADDRINUSE. It turned out to be pooled with a higher load in LVS, and quietly running out of port space (60k connections!). After correcting that, the cache squid was running at 100% cpu usage, with no syscalls at all. opreport:
samples % symbol name
9275 65.0923 squidaio_poll_queues
3417 23.9806 squidaio_sync
134 0.9404 headersEnd
== March 26 ==
* 23:27 brion: updated refresh-dblist to write a full copy in pmtpa.dblist
* 23:20 brion: /h/w/common/refresh-dblist has apparently been changed to not update pmtpa.dblist; as a result there were a few minutes of fun when the bad dblist from below was the live one. have restored a good copy of the list
* 23:00ish brion: managed to accidentally eat the all.dblist and friends with an old 'refresh_dblists' script in /h/w/bin ... have moved it to disabled/subdir and rebuilt the lists, removing invalid entries
* 22:50 mark: All squids upgraded to 2.6.12-1wm4, and ran apt-get upgrade.
* 22:00-22:40ish brion: setting up be-x-old.wikipedia.org and importing new bewiki from incubator
* 21:34 Tim: started new static HTML dump
* 20:30 brion: srv31 back up after reboot; running more dump threads on srv31
* 19:00 brion: starting new dumps on benet with new script o doom
== March 25 ==
* 20:17 mark: Ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on knsq*, upgrading kernel, libc6 and squid to newer versions. Fixed earlier Squid issues.
* 16:12 domas: redirected enwiki/Recentchangeslinked to ariel
* 14:00 domas: Edge case in JobQueue (fixed in r20672, r20674) caused db3 to melt (load >20.0, cpu use 100% in user). at ~16:00 db3 going live and patches being deployed on site. 
* 13:49 mark: Squid on knsq1 has been segfaulting, started in a gdb/screen.
== March 24 ==
* 18:10 Tim: killed frozen job runners on srv91-100.
* 14:57 mark: Built a squid-2.6.12-1wm1 package and installed it on knsq1 for testing. Also ran apt-get upgrade. Rebooting knsq1 for the kernel upgrade
* 12:40 mark: Changed overwrite-percent COSS option from 50% to 30% on knams upload cache squids. Cache size utilization always seems to be < 60%, and those machines have spare I/O bandwidth. Rather than increasing the cache dir partitions with the tedious restarts we might as well try to utilize the existing space better.
* 12:29 mark: Disabled siblings for upload cache squids as well, HTCP hit rates had dropped to < 15%
== March 23 ==
* 23:00 domas: db9 has kernel/fs level deadlocks, mysql doesn't like that, controller? RMA? drivers? Rob? :)
* 23:00 domas: db7 had replication failure, due to commonswiki profiling/hitcounter touches (some purge script?)
* 20:35 brion: srv39-41 had wrong sudoers files after recent reconfig; caused apache-graceful-all to hang prompting for passwords. manually recopied file; setup-apache script looks like it should have copied the files orignally,...
* 19:20 brion: srv141 power-cycled and back up.
* 19:16 brion: srv141 hanging, gonna poke it
* 12:19 Rob: Rebooted srv81, it appears to be back online.
* 12:12 Rob: Shutdown sq2, disk 4 replaced and brought back online.
== March 22 ==
* 19:05 JeLuF: bootstraped srv150 as apache, added to the farm
* 17:42 Tim: moving srv21 and srv25 from search pool 1 to search pool 2, returning srv39 to the apache pool.
* 02:12 Tim: srv81 is mostly down, removed from ext store rotation
* 00:06 Tim: moved srv40-41 back to apache service
== March 21 ==
* 22:30- Tim: moving srv21-30 to lucene service
* 21:25 Tim: moved cluster1 and 2 to a new merged external storage cluster on srv96-98. 
* 20:25 Tim: srv31 down. Unmounted /var/backup/public/mnt/srv31 on benet.
* 19:21 brion: lighty on benet was mysteriously dead for a bit. very slow to kill. killed it, restarted. srv31 1seems stuck/
* 14:40 brion: syncing apache configurations and restarting apaches. at least one machine had old remnant.conf and possibly other bad configs, breaking office wiki intermittently
== March 20 ==
* 23:00 domas: user attempted to delete sandbox on enwiki... :)
== March 18 ==
* 22:18 brion: srv81 ssh broken and http connections hang; removed from LVS manually. srv131 has read-only filesystem but has no load
== March 16 ==
* 15:45 Tim: reassigning srv21-24 from apache to search
== March 15 ==
* 15:52 mark: Disabled all spanning tree on asw2 and asw3
* 15:27 Rob: Moved srv152 back to its normal rack PDU. Booted it online.
* 14:41 Rob: New storage1 racked and installed with FC4.
** I am not sure if that is the OS we want in the end, since storage2 runs Ubuntu, I just wanted to test the install and make sure it went at a reasonable speed, and it did.
* 14:21 Rob: Placed replacement drives in servers adler and ariel. Did not add to array.
* 14:20 brion: set up blank zh.planet.wikimedia.org
* 06:39 river: added a prefix-list (pm-in) on incoming BGP routes to deny 10.0.0.0/8 routes
* 06:18 jeluf: after bw sealed a leaking route announcement (10.0.0.0/30), ariel and suda are reachable again. Restored watchlist config.
* 06:10 jeluf: ariel died, removed the enwikiWatchlistServers section from the config
== March 14 ==
* 19:53 brion: planet.wikimedia.org content moved to en.planet.wikimedia.org
** redirects for feed, link for page
* 19:41 brion: adding some language subdomains for planet
* 19:06 Tim: Pybal was flapping the search backends due to timeouts. Disabled ProxyFetch for now, it can just use IdleConnection.
** The dual processor servers are only 50% utilised (if that) due to excessive thread synchronization
* 18:14 Tim: Switched search to use LVS instead of perlbal. Pybal on diderot.
* 13:37 brion: restarted leuksman.com apache, some mystery prob
== March 13 ==
* 23:38 mark: sq2 broke with a disk failure, killed squids
* 09:57 mark: Removed siblings for text cache squids, hit rates were < 2%. Upload squids have hit rates up to ~25%, so keeping it enabled there for now.
* 01:30 Tim: moved commons thumbnails back to bacon. Amane was toast, average service time blowing out to 4 seconds, and nobody noticed. It's OK now that it's off peak, but obviously bacon is better for this task.
== March 12 ==
* 16:17 Tim: moved commons thumbnail serving back to amane
== March 11 ==
* 22:43 mark: Set negative_ttl to 5 minutes for upload squids, so it can cache 404s and other errors. 404s negative cache entries are purged as usual, hopefully the other kinds of errors don't cause problems.
* 18:45 brion: migrating some old files from benet -> amane; out of space again.
* 17:28 brion: db7 replication is broken; it's trying to replicate updates from commonswiki from its master, db2, however there is no commonswiki db on db7. I'm not sure how these are supposed to be set up, so...
* 11:40 Tim: enabled UsernameBlacklist everywhere
* 00:50 Tim: Finished phasing in CARP configuration. Moved CARP config to /home/wikipedia/conf/squid.
== March 10 ==
* 21:35 Tim: starting to phase in the CARP-based squid configuration. Starting with knsq1.
* 7:50 jeluf: stopped db5, copying its DB to adler
== March 9 ==
* 6:30 jeluf: bootstrapped adler, running mkfs.jfs -c on sda3, will need some time to finish
* 00:03 Rob: Adler is re-installed sans 1 disk. Replacement disk is being taken care of.
** Please bring Adler online as the main database server, as Ariel and Samuel need to be powered down and re-racked with rails that are on hand for them.
== March 8 ==
* 21:20ish -- they came back online. a circuit breaker flipped, was reset
* 21:05ish -- several servers in srv6x range dead, probably circuit breaker
* 18:11 brion: adding planet.wikimedia.org to dns; setting up...
* 14:35 Tim: phasing in remerged squid configuration
== March 7 ==
* 19:45 brion: private SVN set up on net instead of just my laptop
* 18:00 Tim: upgrading apaches to APC 3.0.13
* 17:45 Tim: crashed srv43, kernel GPF due to oprofile
* 17:03 brion: upgraded subversion server to 1.4.3
== March 6 ==
* 19:41 Tim: set an idle timeout of 30 minutes in bfr for the search index rebuild. This will hopefully stop it hanging without killing any valid jobs.
== March 5 ==
* 20:30 brion: rebooting srv130 via ipmi; filesystem was read-only
== March 3 ==
* 17:28 Tim: deploying new APC to all apaches
* 04:51 Tim: Came up with a workaround for the segfault on exit bug, experimentally installed patched APC on srv43 and srv88. The problem is a glibc bug involving linking to libraries with DF_1_NODELETE, such as librt and libpthread. APC was not actually using librt, so I removed it from the link.
== March 2 ==
* 04:34 Tim: We were still getting a large number of file size exceeded signals in the syslog. I eventually patched the bulk of the live code to check the file size before attempting an error log write. That seems to have fixed it. Will commit eventually. 
== March 1 ==
* 15:43 Tim: rotated dberror.log, rapidly filling with database selector related errors.
* 15:37 Tim: brought srv129 into rotation
* 15:28 Tim: brought srv83 into rotation
* 15:25 Tim: brought srv86 into rotation
* 15:07 Tim: started jobs-daemon on srv98 and srv99
== February 28 ==
* 16:25 Tim: tweaked setup-apache, installed full apache environment on srv152 (test Xeon)
== February 26 ==
* 18:15 Tim: upgraded squid to 2.6.9-1wm4
* 17:20 jeluf: srv142 not responding to ssh, removed from the load balancing. Added back srv147.
* 15:40 Tim: did master split. New masters are thistle and db8, as described here.
* 15:16 mark: "Fixed" PyBal with a dirty temporary hack. Will fix cleanly tonight.
* 14:46 mark: Brought up iris as new load balancer, statically as PyBal thinks all squids are down due to some PartialDownloadError. Moved traffic back to knams as pmtpa was overloaded
* 14:00 mark: pascal behaved odd, power cycling didn't help. Switched DNS to scenario KNAMS-down.
== February 25 ==
* 23:39 Tim: adapted cluster provision in refresh-dblist to make cluster lists for the DB masters
* Tim: db9 keeps freezing during query execution. Recompiling mysql didn't help. It can't be put into rotation like this.
* 13:00-late Tim: setting up new master split. 
* 11:00 jeluf: set up replication on db8, started replication on db5, added db5 back into the LB pool
* 00:54 Tim: reopened access to frwikiquote backup dumps
== February 24 ==
* 22:28 Tim: stopping slave on db5 for mysqldump to db8
* 22:20 Tim: running mkfs.jfs on adler, with bad block check option
* 21:41 Rob: Shutdown, added rails, and re-racked Adler
* 20:36 Rob: Rebooted adler and set the correct root password.
== February 23 ==
* 12:02 mark: Reinstalled isidore with Edgy, is ready to go.
* 02:23 Tim: db5 and thistle back in rotation
* 02:00 Tim: copy complete, db5 and thistle catching up
* 00:25 Tim: copying data directory from db5 to thistle
* 00:20 Tim: wiped /a on thistle, was corrupt
== February 22 ==
* 23:39 Tim: took thistle out of rotation. Can't mount /a, syslog reports bus error.
* 22:46 mark: isidore got reinstalled wrongly, will fix it in a few days
* 22:29 brion: setting up rejuvenated yongle to replace the old isidore stuff
* 21:54 Rob: yongle reinstalled with ubuntu.
* 21:36 Rob: Isidore back online, just reseated powercord and it boots fine.
* 20:07 Rob: Adler back online, needs /a filesystem created and synced. Using only onboard disks.
* 18:30 tim: switched master for non-enwiki to samuel
* 18:15 jeluf, tim: adler down. Tim prepares a master switch, jeluf tries to reboot adler.
* 10:33 brion: fiddling with dumps
* 00:58 Tim: starting upgrade to squid 2.6.9-1wm3 everywhere
* 10:27 domas: increased idle transaction timeout to 600s, due to apparently existing slow requests inside cluster.
== Feburary 21 ==
* 19:37 brion: taking over yongle to replace dead isidore
* 19:12 mark: Fixed an issue on the mailing lists server where list wikifi-admin was not recognized due to the -admin / -owner / etc. suffixes.
* 15:43 Tim: piloting squid 2.6.9-1wm3
== February 20 ==
* 23:44 brion: leuksman.com apache down for a while, 'couldn't grab the accept mutex' o_O
* 08:02 brion: confirmed presence of bad cached entries showing anon page views to logged-in users (due to buggy Vary: Accept-Encoding header being present for a few hours, overriding the Vary: Accept-Encoding, Cookie)
* 06:27 mark: Uplink upgrade succeeded, restoring knams. Also putting more countries back on knams, will gradually add more during the day.
* 05:12 mark: DNS scenario knams-down in preparation of the uplink upgrade.
* 02:40 brion: srv137 up, re-synced its files. a happy ending powered by ipmi
* 02:37 brion: power-cycling srv137... ipmi actually works on it \o/
* 02:35 brion: srv137 complaining of read-only filesystem; slow or broken logins
* 02:25 brion: Special:Export was broken under the new scheme; the buffer reset code didn't correctly handle the new handler. Should be fixed now in r19998
== February 19 ==
* ??? tim: enabled Content-Length header with the new compression buffer handler, rumored to help squid maintain persistent HTTP connections
* 20:16 brion: reenabling image captcha, now using subdirs for hopefully better performance
* 16:44 Rob: Completed PSU and MB swap for storage1, re-racked & started OS load.
* 14:50 Rob: Pulled srv86 to work on report that it does not have a working monitor output.
** Works Fine, re-racked.
== February 18 ==
* 13:00 mark: Starting rsync of amane to storage2, without thumbs.
== February 17 ==
* 23:55 jeluf: Started mysql on srv122
* 23:00 many: Avicenna (text load balancer) failed. Load balancing was moved to alrazi. avicenna's ethernet is "link up" after a reboot, but doesn't ping. Site up after 25 minutes.
* 22:10 Rob: Rebooted srv122
** and it came back up right away. If it dies again, please click on its name and log it.
* 22:00 Rob: Replaced PDUs in storage1 started netboot to reload os.
== February 16 ==
* 20:39 brion: srv117 sudoers file was broken; copied in standard one, sync-common now works.
* 20:30 brion: srv110 and srv117 php files out of date; updated srv110 ok, 117 unhappy
* 16:20 brion: isidore hung for some hours; requesting reboot
** back up after a while
* 05:15 jeluf: took thistle out of the rotation, copying its mysql DB to db8
* 03:00 brion: set up http://wiktionarydev.leuksman.com/ for hippietrail to test in-development extensions for Wiktionary
== February 15 ==
22:10 Rob: replaced ram in srv26 upgraded to 4 GB and brought server online.
== February 14 ==
* 22:14 brion: added daily-image-l list
* 07:48 brion: restarted search-rebuild-loop1 on srv37, was stuck at aawiki for a long time so not updating non-en wikis. bugzilla:8979
* 06:30 jeluf: restarted squid on sq27 and sq30, removed binlogs 93-99 from adler.
== February 13 ==
* 21:59 brion: benet out of space, moving files again. probably some broken stuff. sigh.
== February 12 ==
* 22:40 brion: added login=PASS on cache_peer definitions for squid origin servers; apparently if you don't do this squid disobeys the HTTP spec and eats Authorization headers so you can't do any HTTP auth. nice!
* 20:19 Tim: hit a bug, no_cache apparently destroys the public StoreEntry, giving up for now
* 16:45 Tim: trying again
* 14:15 Tim: CARP configuration didn't work on the pmtpa upload cluster, we had a CPU overload on several servers. Reverted back to the old conf.
* 12:11 Tim: phasing in CARP-based squid config
== February 11 ==
* 23:00 jeluf: mysql copy from db1 to thistle done. restarted replication. 40'000s replication lag
* 15:42 mark: Reinstalled storage2, mounted a 3 TB JFS filesystem /dev/vg00/static, with ~ 600 GB free in the VG, starting rsync from Darwin. storage1 didn't come up after a reboot, which is unacceptable.
* 11:55 jeluf: Took db1 out of rotation, generating a mysqldump from it, copying it to thistle.
