It has definitely been more stable than in the past by quite a margin, I think. However, we do have some maintenance planned (not announced yet) for end of Aug / beginning of September related to NFS that could cause some instabilities. In light of that, I think the following is a reasonable course of action to follow: 1. Identify critical 'must have' tools (not too many!) 2. Set them up in a labs instances that doesn't have any NFS (I can help do this) 3. When we do the planned maintenance, re-route the tools to hit the labs instances setup in (2) (I can help do this a well). Now all we need is a *super* minimal (maybe 2?) of tools that should be considered absolutely essential for September (I expect everyting to be stable by October), so we can setup redundancies for that tool. -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
