System downtime last night
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 9:38 am
There was some unplanned system downtime last night. The servers crashed for an unknown reason, and when they restarted, Chris was unable to get the system to come online.
It turns out that it had been over 90 days since the last time the system was restarted, and a lot of new PPLNS data had collected in the database since then. The initial queries to figure out how long it had been since the last PPLNS block were projected to take as long as 90 minutes. Chris was able to delete some data to make those queries last only 30 minutes, and he'll spend time today optimizing the queries to prevent the next restart from taking so long.
No money was lost and no share corrections are needed. We apologize for the inconvenience.
