torrent migration, reversed
by Seth Vidal 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hi folks, I attempted to migrate the torrent to the new server today. That didn't pan out First, the new torrent version didn't work well under any significant load. It worked okay in the tests I had run, but not when hit by all of our users. I worked around this by playing with the version a bit. It was working for a while. Then it died b/c, apparently, the machine it is hosted on died. I've migrated the hostname back to the old machine and brought the old torrent back online. I've also requested the hardware be replaced in the new machine. As soon as we can get a stable machine I'll attempt the migration, again. Thanks, -sv -- I only speak for me.

At least one of which is technical. 15:13 < abadger1999> So we just need to do a complete vacuumof koji. 15:13 < mmcgrath> the other was more about hosting and stuff. How do we know the difference between an "official" spin and a non official one? Do we care? 15:13 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: how long will it take? 15:14 < abadger1999> It will probably make kojia bit slow. 15:14 < abadger1999> Unknown how long it will take but 15:14 < mdomsch> mmcgrath, official ones are blessed by the board, hosting is determined by rel-eng based on space available determined by infra 15:14 < abadger1999> Lasttime we attemptedthis, did it go for longerthan 24 hours? 15:14 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: and it does not require a lock right? 15:14 < abadger1999> Correct. 15:15 < mmcgrath> mdomsch: but how do the users figure it out if they're all listed in the same place? 15:15 < abadger1999> But it could slow things down. 15:15 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: is that something we could just start on Sat? 15:15 < mmcgrath> and hope its done by monday? 15:15 < abadger1999> We can definitely startit. 15:15 < mmcgrath> f13: ping 15:15 < mmcgrath> you guys have any major rebuilds planned for this weekend? 15:15 < mdomsch> listed != hosted :-) 15:16 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: i moved the sparc postgres to 8.3 this week 15:16 < mmcgrath> dgilmore: how'd that go? 15:16 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: ill see how it works since autovacuum is supposed to work 15:16 < f13> mmcgrath: this weekend? Not that I know of, except that it's the last weekend before the Final Freeze for Fedora 9 15:17 < mmcgrath> dgilmore: excellent. 15:17 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: it transitioned smoothly, you have to do a dump restore to change versions 15:17 < mmcgrath> f13: we're thinking about running a vacuum on the db so we stop getting notices about it. 15:17 < mmcgrath> and because we're running out of transactions 15:17 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: i think this weekend is fine 15:17 < f13> hrm. 15:18 < f13> it 15:18 < mmcgrath> dgilmore: <nod> 15:18 < f13> it'll just make things a bit slower right, not break anything? 15:18 < dgilmore> f13: yes 15:18 < mmcgrath> f13: correct. 15:18 < abadger1999> f13: Correct. 15:18 < f13> ok... 15:18 < f13> I reserve the right to be bitchy if something falls over and holds up Fedora 9 builds (: 15:19 * abadger1999 notes that the warnings start when we hit half way so we could go for a bit longer if we have to. 15:19 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: does this weekend work for you or would you rather me do it? 15:19 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: and how the hell did we run out of FAS tranasctions so quick :) ? 15:19 -!- spoleeba [n=one@fedora/Jef] has quit "Leaving" 15:20 < abadger1999> I can do it this weekend 15:20 < abadger1999> FAS is kinda worrisome but at leastit's a small db. 15:20 < mmcgrath> yeah 15:20 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: solid, well let me know if you need anything 15:21 < mbonnet> abadger1999: remember to disable the other vacuums while it's going 15:21 < abadger1999> Right. mbonnet -- only for that db, though, correct? 15:21 < mbonnet> abadger1999: correct 15:21 < abadger1999> Cool.

Plenty of changes go through without approval. 15:51 < f13> I think those two sentences contradict eachother 15:52 -!- giallu [n=giallu(a)81-174-46-50.dynamic.ngi.it] has joined #fedora-meeting 15:52 < mmcgrath> f13: they do, the fact is you can't have veto power on something that doesn't go through an approval process. But I'm happy to give it to you :) 15:52 < mmcgrath> f13: If you've got a problem with a change though bring it to the list, I'm sure we can all work something out. 15:52 < mdomsch> mmcgrath, one more - soc status on download1 routing? 15:53 < mmcgrath> mdomsch: you're guess is as good as mine on that one. They don't tell me anything / keep me up to date on anything. 15:53 < mdomsch> mgalgoci was going to stir up trouble on Monday morning 15:53 < mmcgrath> I can follow up in the ticket and let tom know. 15:53 < mdomsch> as it stands, we won't be able to feed our tier 1 mirrors, much less anyone else 15:53 < mmcgrath> mdomsch: do you know when we lost that link yet? 15:53 < mdomsch> weeks ago 15:53 < mmcgrath> I requested that information from the soc and heard nothing. 15:53 < mdomsch> I remember seeing a note at the time, thinking it would be fixed in a few days 15:54 < mmcgrath> ok. I'm going to bring it to my manager because A) its constant bs with the soc and I'm tired of it. and B) they never bothered to notify us. 15:54 < mdomsch> check mirror-list-d archives, they may have sent something there... 15:54 < mmcgrath> k, I'll double check there then. 15:54 < mdomsch> in any case, we've _got_ to get the bits to ibiblio, else we're scrod 15:54 < mmcgrath> That I'm sure we can do. 15:54 < mdomsch> (past pluperfect of screw) 15:54 < f13> mmcgrath: ok, so maybe the concept of a soft freeze is where you ask before making any changes, and at that point I'd have the ability to say no. 15:55 < f13> mmcgrath: at the hard freeze date, just no changes at all unless it's fixing things 15:55 < mmcgrath> f13: why not just stick with the system we put in place last release? It seemed to work just fine? 15:55 < f13> *shrug* sure, we could do that 15:55 * mmcgrath just doesn't want to complicate it unless there's a reason to. We've got a good team of people there. 15:56 < mmcgrath> Alrighty, anyone have anything else to discuss? If not we'll close in 30 15:56 < mmcgrath> 15 15:57 < f13> nod 15:57 -!- mmcgrath changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Infrastructure -- Meeting Closed!

Change Freeze (IMPORTANT)
by Mike McGrath 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Just a reminder to everyone that the change freeze will be taking place on April 15th. What does this mean? It means you don't make _ANY_ changes to our infrastructure without running it by the list first with an explanation of why it can't wait until after the freeze is over (April 30th) These dates are dependent on if the release slips and such. Just like last time this is a STRICTLY enforced rule. If you've got any questions. Let us know. -Mike

service accounts for bz and FAS
by Matt Domsch 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MattDomsch/FTBFS, I created an account in bugzilla, ftbfs(a)fp.o, which I will use for filing automated bug reports. In aliases.template.erb I'm routing it's mail to /dev/null. :-) However, it dawns on me that someone _could_ come along and try to create a username of "ftbfs" in FAS, which is undesirable. Should I create a new account in FAS too, to "claim" it? This account in bugzilla also needs to be in the bugzilla "editbugs" group, in order to properly file bugs (you can't set bug_state, blocked, or dependson fields via xmlrpc without being in editbugs). I've asked dkl to grant editbugs to this account, but if I created the account in FAS that would be another way to get that set. Except for the whole "signing of the CLA" for what isn't a real person's account, it's a "service" account. Which strikes me as odd. Advice on the best way to handle this, and future similar account needs? Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux

xen7 networking issue?
by Toshio Kuratomi 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Someone just reported that the wiki was down and I thought xen7 might have crashed again. when I tried to ssh to it my connection timed out. ping xen7 was fine. I serial consoled in and then immediately tried to ssh to xen7 again. it worked. uptime showed that xen7 has been up since this morning and the app servers are all running, etc. There are no iscsi errors in /var/log/messages. Is there a possibility that we're experiencing some sort of networking issue with xen7? Maybe that issue is exacerbating the iscsi bug that causes our xen hosts to crash? -Toshio
