mircea_popescu: google will definitely slurp 5mn pages in the next week-ish
asciilifeform: Framedragger: theoretically
asciilifeform: fwiw since phuctor went form sqlite to postgres, i have not yet managed to crash the latter
mircea_popescu: this is also the first time a mysql db crashed in my personal experience.
mircea_popescu: my first time using any of these shits. prior to this morning i had nfi what /var/lib/mysql/ is or how you repair crashed mysql db or anything of the sort.
Framedragger: well the default for DBs is to store things under /var. /var is under root unless specifically separate partition; or you tell db to store under /home/mircea/dbdata or sth.
mircea_popescu: i still have nfi elephantiazis hit that poor file that it ended up 40g, but anyway, im moving the whole shebang on a tb partition and will see wtf myisamchk does.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger for some reason root gets 50G and mysql for everything is stored in there.
shinohai: "Enphase's storage technology is optimal for the masses." <<< Indeed!
mircea_popescu: anyway, turns out the myslq files are stored on a tiny partition for some incomprehensible reason. fancy that wonder.
asciilifeform: in other lulz from upstack : Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) .
Framedragger: (mk /stats now updated every 30min, will see how that one goes. http://siphnos.mkj.lt/ updated to include link to the cached copy. will see if this gets indexed by google (main index page already is)) :)

mircea_popescu: well, ima reboot the machine.
asciilifeform: (that du does not default to -h is one of the titanic retardations of the standard userland)
mircea_popescu: last i saw MySQL Disk Space 596.29 MB, so evidently mysql "repair table" corrupted the table to shit.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck ?!
Framedragger: i'm waiting for the day that freenode goes down while datacenters with logotrons are experiencing issues. everyone's gonna freak out, there will be a new more urgent push for gossipd, it's gonna be great!
mircea_popescu: 0 indication of what this is. will it take another 6 weeks ? "maybe". how do i tell ? what do i do ?
mircea_popescu: how. the fuck. is this supposed to be sane
mircea_popescu: "every thing you do will resolve 99% of the problem at the most". always a little bit left. gah.
mircea_popescu: if only. 99% of db is crud and causing the problem.
asciilifeform: the 'database' is an evil concept.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i recommend to turn off the hammerer.
lobbes: Or rather, my process too slow heh
Framedragger: asciilifeform: phuctor.nosuchlabs.com timing out, do you think this could be related to the cron cacher? (GET /stats every 5min, GET /phuctored every 60min)
Framedragger: (aok. oh well then, light cigar while making DB destruction plans)
mircea_popescu: weirdly enough, also not timing out. how the fuck long can a thing waiot for a lock ?
mircea_popescu: but no, they';re all selects.
Framedragger: 150? no just the one which is still trying to import large blob (if still running)
Framedragger: (then `FLUSH TABLES` should remove any outstanding locks if still any; but don't take my word for it)
mircea_popescu: why'd i want to kill 150 processes by hand. let them timeout.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well you can still kill the particular mysql process which is handling the query, `show processlist` (may show "Waiting for table metadata lock" under "State" column; "Info" column should display the query in question), then `Kill IDGOESHERE`
mircea_popescu: insanely, i am still getting a lot of www requests, so i guess i incidentally found some other issue here as well.
Framedragger: just curious, what is it then, myisam?
Framedragger: there are ways to list/remove locks but i reeeeally dunno if it's a good idea
mircea_popescu: no it's fine, trying to figure out how to rescue the table.
asciilifeform: and looks like you gotta rm the lock file.
trinque: the meat's all dancing cat
mircea_popescu: why is there a metadata lock and how do i turn it off
mircea_popescu: there's a "repair by sorting" going and five billion agents waiting for metadata lock
Framedragger: there's a KILL QUERY
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : mysql use db; results in... the process simply hanging. > 1 minue by now.
shinohai: This is why shinohai decided that if were to update wp-mo, it would use plain txt files and completely burn mysql to the ground.
mircea_popescu: o check it out, amanged to trash the articvles table!
Framedragger: another pleasant morning of kicking DBs
mircea_popescu: lel apparently i crashed the db.
Framedragger: what's the column data type mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: aaaand in other lulz...trilema can't actually hold a 3mb data dumb.
Framedragger: i guess it could host /sadmods and /dupes as well - attempt redownload every few hours? (it will only update the linked cached html in case new download is in fact successful)
