Users with homedirectory server “pile” (as can be seen on <http://DIY.science.ru.nl>)
|
The downtime below has been postponed, because we had a few questions on the new server, that could not be answered in time. To be continued…
Next Tuesday morning, the home server “pile” will be replaced by a new, more powerful server. Because the data have been synchronized with the new server, there will not be much downtime. The new server should be very dependable: hardware RAID-6, double processors and power supplies and a 5-year support contract from the supplier. The performance has improved, e.g. by using hardware RAID with a 1 GB write cache with battery backup.
