Hello to all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Some hours ago we have changed our mirrors to the a new machine. |
4 |
Although the update happened quite smoothly, maybe you have noted the |
5 |
small downtime. We apologize for any inconveniences you may had. We |
6 |
hope the new hardware and software setup will make the service more |
7 |
convenient and reliable. |

From the view of the users, all should continue working as before. The |
10 |
IP address (193.144.48.41) and the structure of the mirrors are still |
11 |
same. If you notice some difference, error os misbehavior, please let |
12 |
us know. |
13 |
|
14 |
Amongst the changes, the most important ones include: |
15 |
|
16 |
* Hardware upgrade: the FTP is now serviced by a quad-core Dell |
17 |
PowerEdge 9600 machine, with 4 GB of memory and 7'5 TB of disk |
18 |
space. After system installation with RAID 5, 6'2 TB are |
19 |
available for the mirror service. |
20 |
|
21 |
* Switched over from Apache to Nginx for the HTTP service. This will |
22 |
give a performance boost when the server is under heavy load. We |
23 |
detected sluggish behaviour when important releases are done. |
24 |
|
25 |
* Now all our machines are located in a dedicated rack in the |
26 |
University's datacenter. |
27 |
|
28 |
We hope this is good news for the mirrored projects, and we are happy |
29 |
of being able to contribute with all of them. |

Best regards, |
