Services are functional, it seems. I was home sick today, and so wasn't able to convert the main data filesystem to ext4. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow and can be in the office to work on that. The main thing left to stage is the conversion to having a commits repository that is separate from the main repository. This should improve read performance on the main repository, as the only writes to it will be incoming mirrors. (Users have definitely noticed that performance has lagged when there are large commits going, and developers have definitely noticed commit speeds slowing down a lot after major releases when many users are updating.) The remaining plan, in case anyone is interested in what I'll be doing: * Convert to duplicate content store: ** Convert the filesystem that will hold the local foresight-commits content store from ext3 to ext4. ** Stop the mirror ** Copy the NFS-mounted content store to the local content store, modify the configuration to use both content stores ** Restart mirror * Test email from fdev * Disable all non-mirror accounts on foresight.rpath.org * Wait for mirror to be complete * Reverse direction of mirror * Run mirror * Enable commitmail from foresight-commits * Disable commitmail from foresight.rpath.org * Enable developer accounts on foresight-commits * Send instructions on using foresight-commits to foresight-devel * Set up triggered as well as cron-based syncing for practically instantaneous public access on main foresight.rpath.org * Send instructions on how to use fdev and foresight-commits to foresight-devel * Set up database dumps on foresight-commits (in addition to full backup from streaming mirror) _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list Foresight-devel@lists.rpath.org http://lists.rpath.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
