In case you can't load my klog, here is the most recent entry: The Tahoe-LAFS Test Grid — the grid that hosts the blog you are now reading — is having problems. It is composed mostly of servers owned by allmydata.com and offered as a free service to Tahoe-LAFS hackers to test out their experiments. Also various people connect their Tahoe-LAFS nodes to the Test Grid while doing experiments. There is a publicly writable directory linked from the front page of http://allmydata.org . There is also a page of measurements of the test grid: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/TestGrid .
The Test Grid really isn't the ideal grid to host a blog. Allmydata.com explicitly stated when they set it up that they might delete the data or take away the storage servers at any time. It was strictly for testing. I've been persisting in hosting my blog on the Tahoe-LAFS Test Grid partly as an experiment — can a grid that is completely unmaintained (nobody from allmydata.com has looked at any of the donated servers in many months) and includes transient servers from anonymous people still be stable enough to use for my blog? The answer is "barely", and I'm probably going to end the experiment soon and move my blog to a reliable grid such as The Volunteer Grid, which is composed of servers owned and operated by contributors to the Tahoe-LAFS project. :-) _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
