Now it's Wednesday, which usually means my focus should shift towards programming tasks. This actually hasn't happened in a while due to holiday schedules and other crises, but the radar blanking code really needs to be hammered into shape already. See the plans page for more info on that. Lots of mental paging-in of C++ programming trickery.

But this morning I was still busy with a bunch of things on my systems task list. Our informix replica server bambi was having fits with exporting/mounting so I had to go through the rigamarole of rebooting the system - which always seems to be the fastest way to fix things when things go awry. I also plugged away moving tons of data around our internal network for eventual filesystem rebuilding, tending to the raw data pipeline, etc. - the stuff I've been talking about for a while.

I've been using an old "Solaris 8" software box (coupled with the shell of a long-defunct external SCSI hard drive enclosure) as a stand for my desktop monitor, unaware how over the years the box has been slowly morphing out of square and sinking towards the left thus slanting the screen more and more. That might explain the crick in my neck I've had the past six months. This unergonomic situation was finally pointed out today by fellow SSL sysadmin Robert. Anywho, I now have the monitor sitting onto my shuttle enclosure, and even though it's perfectly level it seems it's slanting to the right. Talk about accommodation - my brain really got used to the old lean.

It's Tuesday, so that means database maintenance outage - the usual drill. We are recovering from that now. During the downtime I added more space to the workunit storage - actually reaching an unexpected 4 terabyte logical limit on that volume. This isn't a big deal, and we converted the two drives we can't use on this volume into extra spares which are always welcome. I also rolled up my sleeves and drew up a brand new power map of the closet which was until now sorely outof date. After we get Dan to measure the current draw directly at the breakers we can start safely adding machines to the closet.

Over the holiday break, at least since I last posted anything, there was only one real incident. Our scheduling server went kaput and required reboot. Dan and Eric actually took care of that as I was happily making a chunk of change playing a New Year's Eve gig at the time. The surprise outage had the benefit of reducing demand on our resources so we could finally drain our back-end queues, and we recovered nicely once everything was back up and running.

Jeff found the bug in the validator today that's been causing some confusion when comparing cuda vs. non-cuda processed workunits. He's working on the fallout/cleanup from all that while we're still trying to figure out why some cuda clients are overflowing on certain workunits.

By the way, welcome to 2009. I'm only now just getting back into the lab (was out of town between new year's day and yesterday). I have hopes of progress regarding UC Berkeley's SETI project in general.

Welkom Babek
Welkom Remi Duine

Het lijkt wel weer erg rustig hier, de afgelopen week.

Oh, de geplande upgrade van 'm'n koe wordt nog even uitgesteld. Ik ben hier in huis aan 't puzzelen waar de onderdelen van m'n huidige koe na de upgrade heen gaan. Er staat hier nog een oude Celeron P4 - 2.6Ghz die inmiddels zo traag als "dikke @#$ door een trechter met een te klein gaatje op een koude winterdag" is geworden.

Ik was van plan om mijn koe te upgraden (heb nu Asus P5Q met D940 en 2GB) naar een Q9550 met 4GB geheugen. Ik draai 32-bits, dus heb ik effectief maar 3GB bruikbaar. Maar mocht er straks een 64-bits OS op komen, dan zit alles er alvast in.

Aangezien die oude computer nog S487 is, en mijn huidige koe S775 gaat dat niet passen. Mijn huidige koe in dat oude beestje zetten, betekent dat ik een nieuw S775-mobo en andere voeding voor de oude PC moet kopen. (oude voeding is nog 20-pins, ipv 24). En een nieuwe (eenvoudige) grafische kaar, omdat AGP een beetje verouderd schijnt te zijn

Als ik dat allemaal doe, kan ik zonder problemen over een paar jaar de Q9550 naar dat "oude" systeem doorschuiven en zelf een nieuw core i7 systeem kopen. Of wat er op dat moment koe-waardig is

Maar ga ik dan eens kijken wat ik allemaal extra moet kopen om m'n oude koe over te zetten én er te voor zorgen dat ik over een paar jaar die Q9550 kan overzetten

Aan de andere kant, op de 2e hands markt doet een P4-D940 ook niet bijster veel.

Keuzes, keuze, keuzes
