Che'_Moderator Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sorry about the outage earlier. I was hoping to get lucky and not have to take site down, but updated to php needed an apache up-date and restart. Over the next few days I will be applying all of the updates I have been working on so expect a little site weirdness. If you have any bugs that persist after clearing cache of Volvospeed temp files, feel free to submit a bug report under the support tab at the top. Some of these updates are moving towards upgrades I have planned for this server. I hope to have the site running mirrored on new box within a week or so. New box will be dual e5-1650s for those who care. That should help with server side a good bit, but main bottle neck is still i/o. I saw some black Friday sales pop up on drives and ram. If we can raise a little bit of money we can upgrade the SAS to RAID 10 which should help A LOT, donation link in sidebar. So if we hit our goal that is the plan. If we do not get close I will just throw another 16gb in the machine and increase cache threads. Either way, expect the site to be a lot faster in the next few weeks, and hopefully I have gotten to most of the bugs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 That explains the memory sidebar donations. I'll do my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have over a hundred files to upload that should help quite a bit with search speed and everything else. More ram and allowing more of it for xcache will also help a great deal for most pages. Things that cannot be cached though will really only speed up with the i/o crunch fixed. IE moving from Raid 1 to something striped like raid 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 What kind of Ram are you looking for? I may have some spares in my Lan-Room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 DDR3 1866 ECC. Would be a huge help if you had a few sticks laying around. As an FYI. Cpan on this box was a few versions out of date. When it updates it goes one version at a time so it has basically 2 more full updates to do. While server is updating site will be slow but stable. It will restart apache when it updates PHP, but apache restart should be under a minute. So bad news. Slow site today. Good news. Any downtime should be very brief.

Fudge_Brownie Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 If what you have came out of a desktop unit, there's a good chance it isn't ECC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Nah its ecc, it was in our server spares drawer in the LAN room I found 3 more packs of 32GB today. They were for the R710's we no longer have. Have a couple 8 TB drives also but I have to make sure they have no data on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Everything is pretty much ordered. Only thing I need to figure out is Raid 10 or swap raid 1 to 0 and just backup nightly offsite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
