Michael D. Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 We ordered new ram for the Echo server to upgrade it to 24 GB from its current 12 GB. This will allow much more cache for MySQL and disk I/O resulting in an overall improvement in performance across the board for all customers on these servers. This server is our last that is on 12 GB, and were upgrading it as a part of our continual process to improve our services. This upgrade will be performed Friday (February 17th) between 9 PM and 12 AM EST and the estimated downtime is approximately 20 minutes. If you have any questions at all about this process, by all means, do let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Echo will be taken off line in approximately 5 minutes for this scheduled RAM upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 The server is offline for this scheduled maintenance, and we will update this thread as soon as it's back online and fully available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 The server unexpectedly reported file system errors on reboot, so the server is forcing a file system check. We'll update you as soon as this is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael D. Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 The file system check shouldn't take more than 15~20 minutes assuming we don't have to run it twice. On the positive side of things it's better we find this before it causes a random issue or data loss. I'll update this thread as soon as the FSCK is done. Currently it's at 27%.
