NEWER, BETTER & FASTER SERVERS!!! :D

[Erwin]

Welcome to the new server cluster for CF - the servers are newer, better, faster, with more RAM, state-of-the-art SCSI hard disks with hardware RAID, and faster network connections.

Took me 24 hours straight of working on this to fix the multitude of bugs and problems I encountered!!!

I've hardly had any sleep trying to get CF online.

The downtime is just 24 hours - not bad for a COMPLETE server cluster migration - we changed ALL our servers in the one go.

So far so good - CF was probably ready about 2 hours ago, but I've been busy chasing down and fixing minor bugs.

Let me know if everything is okay - speed should be much improved - but we'll see how we go at peak times!

Enjoy! And thanks for your patience!!!

Thank you so much, Erwin! As the younger set yould say- You're the man!

 

[elanor]

Bless you, Erwin! Now please get some rest. We'll try not to break anything while you sleep.

Now you need to go sleep for 24 hours straight

 

[Erwin]

I can almost guarantee that CF will be a LOT faster this time round... basically because of our fast SCSI RAID drives.

 

[Blank123]

[rainbowprism]

[Erwin]

Now you need to go sleep for 24 hours straight

I had about 4 hours in-between.

 

[Bevlina]

What a difference!

 

[pgp_protector]

Then get another 4 at least

 

[artnalex]

Thanks Erwin. It looks great! Fast as can be!

 

[Erwin]

It's a huge difference when you have better hardware.

Report any bugs here - this was a huge move, with lots of customizations, and many problems on the way - I had to get techs to reformat the hard disks because of operating system problems about 10 hours ago, which set us back half a day!

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

Even on my curmudgeonly excuse for a cable modem-connected computer CF is running fast! YAAAAAY!

 

[Plan 9]

That was exeptionally quick work, too, Erwin! Thank you!

 

[Erwin]

So far so good... Things are flying - mind you, there are less than 300 online... let's see how we go with 1,000...
