| schestowitz | Thanks for restarting. The problem occurred literally when I went through the door (came back home). | Jan 25 04:26 |
| schestowitz | I can see the downtime because of the IRC bots, >usually<... if not my open terminal with apachetop in it. In this case both told me something had gone wrong when I came back to the desk. | Jan 25 04:26 |
| schestowitz | It takes about 46 minutes to repair (I tried to study why it's so slow while it progressed, over the terminal). It doesn't always use the full CPU capacity, maybe due to I/O-related limits. | Jan 25 04:27 |
| schestowitz | In the past few repairs we can see that, just like with TM (esp. Gallery2 at TM), the affected tables aren't so crucial. So I think next time there's a TR crash we don't need to bother with a DC repair, unless something seems to be going wrong. Last time it happened was last year when the wordpress.users table needed repairing. I wasn't able to log in until it was repaired. | Jan 25 04:27 |
| schestowitz | I'm surprised we never had any major data loss on the site -- at least nothing we were not able to restore somehow. | Jan 25 04:27 |
| schestowitz | So, in short, due to the length of time it takes to repair, maybe better to skip it next time. | Jan 25 04:27 |

| schestowitz | About two weeks ago my wonderful Linux Laptop decided not to power up anymore and there is not much I can do about it besides take it to a 'repair' shop and pay more than it is worth to try and fix it. I took it to one and priced it and they won't even tell me how much the final cost might be. The laptop brand new cost roughly $400 and besides, I don't have the money to fix it. I am better off 'saving up' to buy another one if possible. | Jan 25 06:11 |
| schestowitz | Without it even turning on I am basically carrying around a paperweight. It just makes me sad that after succeeding at finally getting it the way I want it now it does this. It was given to me so I can't complain that I didn't get "my money's worth" but still, ugh. | Jan 25 06:11 |
