schestowitzI have learned how to use parted, e.g. in iterative mode (not ncurses), for managing partitions without the GParted-like front ends that I've used before. There's about 50 GB (spare space) at the end of the disk, so I can create a partition there (on hda) and then add it as a primary/secondary spillover slot (not RAID, same physical disk after all).Jan 25 00:40
schestowitzI don't want to do this on a mission-critical/live machine for fear that it would knock some VMs offline while most people are asleep, but if I get the clearance, then I will do this tomorrow evening.Jan 25 00:40

schestowitz"and they say the desktop is dying :) One can look at it this way - the desktop now has a much wider range, from low power arm processors right up to the powerful over-clocked game pcs. The sales statistics which are raving about pads and smartphones reflect a novelty due to the marketing and developments. But are we really going to say goodbye to the keyboard, a decent mouse, a large monitor and reliable storage? Not to forget Jan 25 18:18
schestowitzbeing able to upgrade your hardware? It sounds cool to go into "either/or" mode, but the real world is "not only/but also"."Jan 25 18:18

schestowitz> During recent days, output from "top" often showed mysqld using 50% -Jan 25 19:23
schestowitz> 100%  Should the mysqld process be restarted from time to time?  I'mJan 25 19:23
schestowitz> not sure of a good way to monitor its resource usage.Jan 25 19:23
schestowitzI'm not seeing that kind of high usage. I still don't know what's causing all the trouble, but it impeded backing up and slowed down posting. :/Jan 25 19:23
schestowitz> Both httpd and mysqld loads seem low today relative to what they wereJan 25 19:52

schestowitzAt some stage I was wondering if some wordpress or apache exploits were being used to derail the site.Jan 25 19:52

schestowitz> BTW the IRC bot died after a minute or two.  It doesn't have a log,Jan 25 20:03
schestowitz> does it?Jan 25 20:03
schestowitzThere are two types of bots and their logs are standard IRC logs, which sometimes also tell what happened at network level.Jan 25 20:03
schestowitzWordPress I upgrade only when there are security  fixed, so it should be fine as it is for security purposes.Jan 25 20:03
