New Mirror added: releases.ubuntu.com

Reboot to finish the upgrade to Fedora Core 3 and to install a new network card. After many years our network connection is again using copper. We are also using a different driver for our internal RAID controller. Instead of the dpt_i2o module we are now using the i2o_block module. Uptime was 85 days.

Some process(es) consumed all the memory and the machine was not usable for about an hour. This was the time the OOM killer striked and started killing about half of the processes. After restarting all services everything was back to normal without rebooting.

Reboot to install a different network card. The 3COM Gigabit card has been replaced with an Intel e1000.

Two new mirrors available: gentoo and fedoralegacy.org

Downtime was one hour today. This was necessary to make hardware changes. Old RAID removed from rack. New RAID installed into the rack. New memory installed in the RAIDs.

The 180GB RAID was upgraded to 600GB. The kernel was updated to support XFS and more than 4GB RAM. Fedora Core 2 was installed two days ago.

A new RAID with additional 600GB was attached. New kernel installed.

The breakdown of an UPS powering three of our external RAID arrays required a reboot of the system.

Once again a reboot to update the kernel to 2.4.24.

One reboot was necessary to connect on new RAID and to change the layout and configuration of one of the already connected RAIDs. The server has now 903GB of diskspace which is used for the mirrors.

Our provider disabled our whole network for the last two days to investigate network errors on our uplink. We used this network downtime to run a fsck over all our big RAIDs and could therefore make something useful during the two days nobody was able to connect to us. We were also able to do […]
