hi,
we are testing a new way to run tools on the Toolserver, that will allow
tools to easily take advantage of spare resources, including new servers
we add in the future, without any change from users.
for more information, and documentation on how to use it, please see
<https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Batch_job_scheduling>

hi,
on Monday 14th, around 2AM UTC, we will do further maintenance on the
sql server (zedler) to move the databases back to the original server.
based on the amount of data to copy, i expect the downtime to be around
2.5 hours.

hi,
the user database server (zedler) has run out of space on the MySQL
filesystem; however, there is still 250GB free in the InnoDB table
space. to reclaim this free space, we need to dump the reload the
database. the database will be inaccessible while this is in progress.
based on the time taken to run nightly backups, the dump should take
about 5 hours. however, i will run it in parallel to improve
performance. it will take a bit longer to reload it afterwards.
after the reload, i will not restore the commonswiki replica that was
previously on the sql server. the correct way to join user databases to
commons is to create them on the sql-s4 server.

Hi all
Since the user database is still importing, we decided to at least get the most
important data from zedler back online: the toolserver (meta)database, with
toolserver.wiki etc. To access it, use the hostname sql-toolserver. This way, it
is no longer bound to the locatiuon of the user databases, and we can point that
alias to a workign copy at will. the command line script "sql" was already
changed to do use the new ost name.
So, to fix your tools, change the database host for the toolserver db to
"sql-toolserver".

hi,
i've unmounted /mnt/user-store in order to convert hemlock from ZFS to
VxFS. this involves copying off the data, reformatting the disk, then
copying the data back; i estimate it will take around 12 hours in total,
during which user-store will be unavailable.
