Port 80 blocked on publictest machines
by Luke Macken 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

I just made the change in puppet to block port 80 on our publictest machines. Theoretically, the apps on those servers shouldn't be touching our production db, but we shouldn't underestimate human stupidity. Let us know if stuff breaks. luke

Wanted: more Mirror Wranglers
by Matt Domsch 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

It's been a little over a year since I claimed the self-appointed title of Fedora Mirror Wrangler. I have received quite a few kudos for doing it - and it's fun coordinating a few hundred mirrors, providing the best download experience for a few hundred thousand users. For the benefit of Fedora as a whole, I'd like additional people to step up and become Mirror Wranglers too. Tasks include: * understanding the database schema and code behind MirrorManager, and being able to enhance it as necessary * moderating new mirror requests * moderating the mirror-list and mirror-list-d requests * participating on these lists * manually scrubbing the database occasionally (I added ~30 F8 mirrors a few weeks ago where they were mirrors at some point, but hadn't added themselves into MM, or had added themselves incorrectly). Any volunteers? Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux

epylog log reports
by Seth Vidal 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi guys, I've added excludes and weeded out a ton of crap from the epylog reports. You'll note that: 1. the report is now down to about 1/6th the size it was 2. there is still an metric buttload of stuff coming in the logs The stuff showing up there now are legitimate reports. If you see something in the sections at the bottom then it needs to be fixed. Please do so. :) -sv

New hosted setup
by Mike McGrath 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

I'm nearing completion of the hosted setup and I'm at a point where I can either make some temporary convoluted puppet configs, or I can just disable the puppet configs for the production instance and get started on the new instance. I've chosen the latter. If you have any changes to make to hosted please coordinate it with me. I expect the new site to be up by the end of the week at the latest. -Mike

Mail lists for hosted
by Mike McGrath 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Anyone know of any mail list software besides mailman that they've used and like? I ask because I'm not a huge fan of mailman. The hosted mailing list will probably have precedence and I think it is likely that whatever we do in hosted is what we'll end up doing with the rest of Fedora's mail lists when the time comes. -Mike

FAS reminder about hosted groups
by Mike McGrath 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

When creating groups for hosted, make sure cla_done is a requisite. There's a bug in the current account system code where sometimes this requisite goes away when adding people to the group. -Mike

[Fwd: Cron <root@app4> /usr/local/bin/restart-memhogs.sh]
by Toshio Kuratomi 02 Dec '07

Looks like smolt is hitting the limit of 700MB pretty easily. I was going to up the limit but I found that smolt was timing out even when running with less than 700MB of memory. Restarting the server stopped that from happening. So one possibility is that once smolt allocates so much memory, some portion of what it does takes too much time to scan through that memory. If that's so we actually want to decrease the amount of memory smolt can allocate before being restarted. Another possibility is that the smolt server is getting stuck somewhere in processing and that's preventing either the smolt server or the database from processing future sendProfile's correctly. In this scenario, restarting the server due to memory usage is fixing this as a side effect. We really want to find and fix the bug if this is the case. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Cron <root@app4> /usr/local/bin/restart-memhogs.sh Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 18:30:02 -0700 From: root(a)app4.fedora.phx.redhat.com (Cron Daemon) To: root(a)app4.fedora.phx.redhat.com Restarting smolt 31069 RSS: 691732 smolt: stopped smolt: started -Toshio
