schestowitzme: "[Comment] I've taken note of the how-to. If there's some way I can help with it, please assign accordingly. Also, it seems like we ought to copy/mirror the system to stress-test backup & restore.

TechrightsSocial@normnz: @schestowitz Given the US context, I think it's a smart move. Potentially make patents *very* easy to code around.Feb 26 09:30

schestowitzkillall httpd was sometimes needed, based on my experience. Maybe it's worth making it part of the script? Maybe an overkill?Feb 26 10:31

schestowitzI hope we'll just get CentOS 6 deployed some time in the near future. Not that it's guaranteed to fix the issues but it may help. In the past there were no such issue, not so frequently anyway.Feb 26 11:32
