COMPLETED *** Scheduled maintenance 29/03 @ 0100 AEDST ***
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:02 pm
As you may be aware the ClubCJ.net server has been having some issues of late.
In a nutshell the RAM processing memory (not hard disk) is getting all used up as the box is trying to do too much.
At this stage I'm not sure what is triggering the RAM to be all used up, the server has protections to try and free up RAM by killing off things that are not needed, however when these server processes try and start up, they re-trigger the process killer. (Much like when you try and flip the fuse at your switchboard and you have a misbehaving appliance tripping the fuse again and again).
I'll be doing some changes on the server tonight to tweak a few things and turn off some backend services on the server that are not need and optimise when some of these other services are run (i.e. during off peak periods).
You may noticed intermittent 5 minute outages from 0100 AEDST 29/03 whilst I am working on this. This is in 2 hrs time from now.
Sorry for the late notice, however I've been quite busy with my real world life and this is the best opportunity as i have some time up my sleeve....
