IGnet Unlimited - Uncensored

[#] Sat Jun 19 2010 16:27:30 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ Uncensored

Over the last couple of months I've been brainstorming some ideas on how we can make the network architecture more dynamic, allowing nodes to join and resign at any time without any manual configuration required.

Interesting. Will there be, however, a method by which we can restrict such activity?

i.e. it may be necessary to block a site from networking with mine...not that we have anyone in our community that would require such action, but just saying... ;-)

MyCastlerealm deomain is expireing on the 25th and will not be renewed.

Freakdog,

Go ahead and pull networking any time after Friday.

Ian,

I've dumped a LOT of domains over the past 6 months. I need to drop you an e-mail w/ an updated list.. My Castle realm and wall will both be dead for good as of Friday.

I've got some bandwidth.

Log into dogpound2.citadel.org, and let me know which rooms you'd like to share.

Apologies if anyone gets a bunch of duplicate network packets.

Looks like the filesystem in which Citadel lived filled up on me, and everything went to hell...even after I expanded the filesystem, Citadel would start, but would not answer any ports. I've restored back to midnight on August 23rd...hopefully, the disruption is minimal.

IG, maybe you should upgrade uncensored to latest stable too? /me just crashed it by some old bug :-(

[#] Thu Nov 25 2010 09:54:01 EST from IGnatius T Foobar @ Uncensored

At the moment I'm trying to figure out why networking is all jammed up.

Subject: Re:

after ugrading to latest stable?

probably a problem with the change to the way netconfigs are handled now?

i've changed it not to use tmpfile which would write configs to /tmp/ but rather create the file in the target directory, and rename it.

by that way we don't loose netconfigs (rss feed urls pop collectors, mailing list subscribers, node links..) if the filesystem containing the netconfig directory is full.

maybe for some reason in non-.deb mode the paths aren't built correctly?

Still jammed?

I'm seeing this in my logs:

Still jammed, and I'm still having trouble figuring out why. I apologize for the inconvenience.

[#] Thu Dec 09 2010 12:30:51 EST from Freakdog @ Uncensored

Glad to know it's still on the radar.

In (un?)related news, I'm currently building a new server to replace the one on which DP2 runs...64bit, quad-core AMD processor. I'll get to test the "new" export/import feature.

Should be interesting.

[#] Mon Dec 13 2010 23:36:31 EST from IGnatius T Foobar @ Uncensored

Yeah, it's weird, and I can't seem to wrap my head around what's happening.
Troubleshooting is slow because I have to take my Citadel server down and knock all the users off every time I want to test something. I promise it will be fixed, but I can't yet say when.

Freakdog: is it possible that there is a corrupt file in your spoolin/ directory which is jamming the queue?

Subject: Re:

Yow! After spending several hours last night trying to figure out why messages are not moving around, I discovered that spool files received from another node are being written to the disk as ALL ZEROES.

Then I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 1:00am and went to bed. But I'm sure we're close to a fix now.

Ok, I've got a clearer picture of what's happening now, and a fix should be forthcoming. THe move to buffered I/O completely broke certain modes of transport that are used between servers.
