...though "The Myth of Sisyphus" may be a more apt title.
We are seeing intermittent memory problems on db2, the new machine
powering mysql2.ibiblio.org. Unfortunately these problems did not
manifest until the machine was under load, and we will not be able to
further troubleshoot or address them without significant downtime.
To minimize the inconvenience to you, our contributors, we are rolling
back to mysql2's former hardware tonight, beginning at 9:00 p.m. EDT
tonight, October 27, 2006. We anticipate the outage to last about two
hours, giving us time to dump the databases, run mysqlcheck and perform an
incremental backup as we move back to the old server.
If the timing of this outage poses an insurmountable difficulty to you,
please drop a note to help at ibiblio.org and we'll work something out. As
always, we apologize for the trouble, and thank you for your patience.
thank you, 919.962.5646 w
