All posts for the day August 17th, 2008

The migration is coming along nicely thus far. I have most of the user webpages moved. The last thing I have to work on is the ton of Gallery installs on the server. That is going to take some time because the users have a LOT of pictures. So far, everything has gone off without a single issue. I’m actually pretty surprised.

After the gallery installs are moved, then it is on to user home directories. That won’t be a quick process either, because all of their mail is in their home directory (~/.maildir to be exact). The old co-location facility has been having some serious connection lag issues lately, so it is making things a little difficult to transfer. I mean 15K/s, that’s like dial-up speeds.

That should take care of itself soon enough and hopefully I’ll have some better connection speeds to finish the migration.

Knock on wood, but it really went a whole lot easier then I expected. A WHOLE LOT… Of course, now that I said that, I’m sure I put the jinx on the rest of the migration.

Oh yeah, and if you are reading this, you are on the new server. It has 4 (yes they are “virtual”) processors, and really does fly…
