------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slow performance of file server foostock http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1151308207 Since this morning we experience a massive performance degradation on the file and print server foostock. This is a follow up problem of the upgrade from [1]yesterday. At around 09:00 the problem started to increase more and forced me to reboot the server at 09:30. This gave an interruption of about 10 minutes for all the file (home and group directories) and print services on foostock. This reboot helped a little bit, but did not solve the problem completely. Currently I am working to solve this, which will need some more reboots of the server. We apologise for the inconvenience we caused by this. Update: Installation of a patched kernel and reboot done, all services are up and running since 17:40. As far as it looks now, the performance is again back to normal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maintenance file server foostock http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1151007839 On Sunday, 24. June 2006 between 16:00 and 18:00 we will be upgrading the [1]operating system from [2]FreeBSD [3]6.0-RELEASE to [4]6.1-RELEASE on the server foostock. During this time all home and group directories (winhome, machome, unixhome, windata, macdata, unixdata) and our print service will not be available.

After a manual reset (which had to be done in the data center), the server is back online since 07:10. The background filesystem check is still running, so performance will be degraded for some more hours. We apologise for the inconvenience we caused by this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ISG News Mailinglist Go to https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/isg-news to unsubscribe or change your settings.
