Hi group,
So what's the verdict? I am ready to create the VM with storage if
needed. It would be Redhat if that is of concern.

Corollary to that: If it is in the RDC, who is paying for the IP charges? I
have been dealing with another group on campus who's network was
disconnected because someone in DivIT realized that they were not being
charged for at least a year (and possibly more).

Question for the group, given the significance of this service, would you
like to move this to DivIT systems which are patched and maintained? If so,
I can investigate.

Subject: Re: [UM-LINUX] Mirror.umd down?
The server had two 36 GB WD Raptors (10k, 3.5", SATA II), one of which
stopped working, for the OS, some static files and the mirroring scripts. I
think these disks were less than half full.
There are four 2TB Seagate Barracuda XTs connected to the faulty SATA
controller (a 3ware 9650SE). We have about 1.8TB free (of 5.4TB). We have
two spare disks, but we're out of drive bays.
I believe the SATA/RAID card needs PCI Express x4. Ideally we'd replace
that card with another SATA controller and either a) replace the Raptors
with SSDs or b) replace the Raptors with working magnetic drives while
adding a dedicated SSD for caching purposes.

What is the current HD usage?
I am a current student (PhD, so I will be here for a while) and I have
some spare hardware if necessary that we could use to revive it.
Having a local mirror is really helpful.

The mirror server's had a combination of a failed OS disk, some
filesystem trouble and a broken SATA controller. We're not sure why
it locked up last Friday, but it's down right now because the SATA
controller had its very frequent intermittent failure after the
server was brought back up yesterday. We hoped the controller would
start working after a remote reboot, but the machine never came back
online.
Even after we get the server running, there's a good chance of
downtime with the current hardware. We are running with zero
redundancy in the / disk, and the remaining drive is identical to the
one that failed. Also, the SATA controller could break and disconnect
the main software storage disk array at any time. There's a ~90%
chance that the array won't come up after the next power outage. If
that happens, we'll need to manually disconnect and reconnect the
power several times in order to get the server going.
I do some maintenance (adding mirrors, mostly), but since I'm no
longer at the university, other people have been taking care of all
of the issues that need local attention.

Hello all,
There's been very little traffic on this list recently (correction,
none at all), so I hope that people are still around.
The mirror.umd.edu server appears to be down, and the only
published email address is "mirror@hostname", which is, of course,
down with it.
Does anyone know who the current maintainer is and/or what the
story is here?
Thanks,
Moshe

Well, right now, zero data from UMD. The mirror is down and has
been
for
several days now. If it comes back up, it's definitely ideal for
however
far back it goes.
Noted, and will do.
