Finally the tracker resumes normal. The outage was caused by a bug in fgms and the fix was pushed to git on Jun 24. As of the time this post was made, mpserver01, mpserver10, mpserver14 and mpserver15 are connecting to this tracker, and mpserver12 connect to another tracker maintained by evilslut. The Tracker DB cannot be reached for some resaon. I PMed ahven and asked him to check what's going on with his server. Please be patient until the problem is fixed.
EDIT: 2012-06-16 18:46+08 Looks like the upstream server is not recoverable. I am now contacting the owner of mpserverXX to re-direct the data traffic to a new server. This site will no longer update until the traffic has been re-directed by the owner of mpserverXX.
EDIT: 2012-06-21 21:51+08 Now the tracker only tracks fgfs connecting to this site (mpserver15.flightgear.org). Please change the setting accordingly if you want your flights be tracked. (see below)
Today I have replaced the DB storage from HDD to SSD and the result was impressive. A page which needed 3 minute to generate now it only takes less than 30 sec. Some over 80% of time is saved.
BTW, in these few days the tracker trackes mpserver01's flights. In case you can't get you flight tracked, mpserver08 might still be your (only) friend. Your flights not getting tracked? Connect to mpserver08.flightgear.org might help! When the tracker site seems slow (should be always though XD), please access it a moment later (e.g. 10 min). I don't think you'll expect a 5 year old desktop will run fast with a 28GB Database right?
Do not refresh the page again, again and again! Doing so will only boost up the load of the server.
The main problem is slow I/O of Hard disk.I am seeking a idle SSD at my end but apperentely no luck. When it comes, the site will revive. |
