Mid-year career development discussion
by stace＠mcs.anl.gov 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hey, whaddayaknow, these things are overdue. Here's the deal. The mid-year career development discussion is not a performance appraisal. It's an opportunity to make sure your career is on the track you expect. It's optional, so if you want to take a half hour or so to talk about it, let's do it! If you're interested, work with Tina to get on my calendar. If not, that's cool -- this is all about you so whatever you want to do is fine by me.

Craig gave the ok for the CI to steal a vserver to alleviate the NFS project/software server issues we've been having. Anyone some time to show me the server?

Re: sto01 nfs tuning

It shouldn't be a problem as max just restarted nfs - without user issues. I'm not changing any parms that will affect client mount options, only server scalability. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Stacey" <stace(a)mcs.anl.gov> To: "Dan Olson" <dolson(a)mcs.anl.gov> Cc: core-admins(a)mcs.anl.gov Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 4:39:15 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: sto01 nfs tuning I'm generally cool about this with most services, but with NFS it can lead to stale NFS handles.

It needs to be restarted to take the new values. It should be down less than a minute.

sto01 restart status
by dolson＠mcs.anl.gov 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Restarting nfs on sto01 went smoothly. I logged onto several of the clients and checked their syslogs - only one showed an error about a lock that could not be reclaimed by lockd. The rest had their home directories mounted properly. I checked all the login nodes and verified their home nfs systems were mounted and writable. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055

Where's Chris?

I need to take the zoom zoom in before it blows up, it's leaking gas quite profusely now.. The overly helpful and exuberant Starbuck's employee (think Office Space) who reminded me it was leaking gas was the last straw, so I made an appointment for tomorrow.. I'll need to work from home to provide moral support and post-op care..
