[SAC] Telascience Blade System Status

Folks (John especially!),

I have not been able to login to geodata.telascience.org (198.202.74.216)
for at least a week or two. Does anyone have any idea what it's status is?
It doesn't seem completely dead, but I wonder if sshd is dead or something.

Also, I haven't been able to login to xblade 13-2 (198.202.74.218) since
sometime in December. I'm guessing it is dead but perhaps might be revivable
with a reboot?

I'm trying to survey where additional services can be put. I'm especially
keen to move buildbot slaves off download.osgeo.org which is *very* crowded.
Alternatively I might consider NFS mounting another blades disk on
download.osgeo.org to extend the disk space available.

I'm not so keen on NFS mounting "outside machines" given all the problems
caused by use of the bucket NFS disk.

Best regards,

Frank,

If there is a need to move the buildbot installation, just tell me where and I'll move it.

Cheers

Folks,

I spoke to John in IRC about this, and he reports that two of the blades
(presumably .216 and .218) have dead drives and that he is ordering new
ones (bigger). I'm not sure exactly when these will be operating again but
at that point we should have more space.

At that point I would like to make one of these two blades the new
download.osgeo.org on the bigger driver, and leave all the other services
currently on the download.osgeo.org blade (ie. buildbot, gdal.org, grass.org)
behind on the old drive. I'd also export the /osgeo/download directory on
the new drive to the old drive so that folks can push updates onto it
(night svn snaps and so forth).

Anyone have any issues with that? Alternatively we could just try and
move everything over. Moving everything over would make user synchronization
easier since I have been creating a variety of local accounts for people
on download.osgeo.org.

Best regards,

Sounds excellent. The only wish I have:
please preserve also timestamps when moving files... I kept them for 10 years
now - they survived 4 migrations between 3 countries and 2 continents so far :slight_smile:

Thanks
