Is The Disk Really Full?

[+RocketMan]

I have been getting my share of server errors this weekend, but tonight I keep getting this:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

There is not enough space on the disk.

 

Try as I may, I can't upload any images to my new cache page. Is the disk really full?

lets see if it is... try posting again

[MarcusArelius]

Yep here we go again! About half my logs are going through. Check even if you get an error.

[+RocketMan]

lets see if it is... try posting again

Different server and therefore different disk but nice try.

heh, i know but it was good for a chuckle.

[+Right Wing Wacko]

Cache logs appear to be sticking, but the Travel Bug drops are not sticking.

There is probably a disk space problem. .net reacts differnet in different situations with low disk space. I can add a log to a cache but then can't get back and view it via the cache link.

 

I get the low disk space error when uploading images.

 

Jeremy needs a bat phone so we can let him know when things happen like this real fast.

[MarcusArelius]

That's a good point. Jeremy what is the best way we can let you know when probelms pop up. Maybe a special e-mail that will page the on-call person. Assuming that you do get some time off once in a while....

[Jeremy]

We're moving files over now. We're having all sorts of wonderful fun today. Space should be available shortly.

[MarcusArelius]

It looks like they may be rebooting

[+WalruZ]

have mercy. trying to fix these sorts of web server problems while the site is running is like trying to re-stripe a freeway without laying out cones. i'm suprised they haven't just taken the site down for a day.

[Jeremy]

We already have a hotline where we get notified of issues pretty quickly, in addition to a server that monitors the health of the site and emails us if there are issues.

 

Space is available now. Our log files are getting so large we have to offload them to another machine more often.

Is the hotline a number that you want to give out, or is that for the admins?

Edited March 1, 2004 by MarcusArelius

[Jeremy]

The admins have the number. Unfortunately, from experience, giving it out to the public can be worse than not having it at all.

just Kidding Boss. really I am.

"THUD"

 

Seriously, thanks for being on top of this.

[MarcusArelius]

Copy that. I work in IT support.

[+Team HomestarRunner]

Just to let you know. I'm getting this error now.

 

 

"An unexpected end of file parsing NAME has occurred. Line 145, position 368."

[Jeremy]

Where is this error?

[+Team HomestarRunner]

The error occurs when, from "My Cache Page", I click on the [cache] button next to my Logged cache of 2/29/2004 Indian Bear Lair(California).

Does that help?

[+nonnipoppy]

When ntrying to check my log for GCGZ07 Pinnicle Girl Scout Cache. I get this error repeatedly.

 

 

An Error Has Occured

 

 

 

The 'name' start tag on line '869' doesn't match the end tag of 'na' in file 'file:///e:/caches/xml/94373/94373.xml'. Line 869, position 29.

[Jeremy]

It did. Thank you. I rebuilt those caches.

[+planetrobert]

I gat an error

 

The 'account_id' start tag on line '492' doesn't match the end tag of 'a' in file 'file:///e:/caches/xml/115210/115210.xml'. Line 492, position 27.

[Jeremy]

I think because we were running out of space, some of the caches were partially being saved to disk. It will be a real bear to track down and fix these, but I'll work on it.

That did the trick!!

 

Just in case no one has said it lately....

 

Thanks for all the hard work Jeremy and staff!!!!

[Jeremy]

I did a stopgap fix, the first time you come to one of these pages it will indicate the cache doesn't exist, but refreshing the page will fix it.

Space is available now. Our log files are getting so large we have to offload them to another machine more often.

I guess I should mention that my original image upload problem that prompted me to start this thread was resolved a while ago; right after Jeremy posted his reply above. Now that is fast service. Thanks a bunch Jeremy. RM

[Moun10Bike]

Thanks, Jeremy! The two issues that I mentioned above have been rectified.

[Jeremy]

We're going to exceed 50,000 logs in one week! No wonder I'm tearing my hair out. Now multiply that by calories burned = ?

[+Mopar]

OMG! That works out to what, about 5 logs per minute, every minute, for a week straight! Of course we know that most cachers only do it on weekends, and most are in the USA, so that means the actual prime time weekend numbers are truly staggering.

[Jeremy]

Current stats:

 

In the last 7 days, there have been 49955 new logs written by 11075 account holders.

 

Same time last year were logs by around half as many.

[+Stump]

We're going to exceed 50,000 logs in one week!

And it's only February! Imagine the load is going to be much higher when the days get warmer and longer in the Northern Hemisphere. Will the servers be able to handle that much more capacity?

[+Hemlock]

We did it!

 

In the last 7 days, there have been 51048 new logs written by 11176 account holders.

[+WalruZ]

perhaps you should go to unit pricing instead of flat pricing. charge a certain amount per log.

 

or... you could just charge per post in the forums. that would probably pay for the main site by itself.

 

(yes, i'm just kidding)

 

(well, not about the forums)

[Deego]

We did it!

wow 51048 logs in a WEEK . I think when the warmer weather arrives we are going to blow the servers up (Good luck Jeremy. Your doing a fine job )

[Jeremy]

or... you could just charge per post in the forums. that would probably pay for the main site by itself.

Now if I had 2 cents for every opinion, I would have $4,265 just from the General geocaching topics.

 

hmm...

Send a bill to all those people that start or end their posts with "just my two cents..."!!

[+MarcB]

Poor Jeremy! (In more ways than one!)

What *is* going to happen in the summer/the future? - Geocaching is just going to keep on growing and growing....

MarcB

[Jeremy]

We'll be fine. In the next month or so we'll be completely in the new codebase. After we move images off of the main web server we'll be able to build a server farm so the site can keep up with the traffic. It's these growing pain moments that are the worst.

[+MarcB]

That's great news! Thanks for the updates Jeremy

MarcB

[+planetrobert]

Not that it is totaly related, well it sorta is.

 

I have found that mysql quits running right when I have less than 400mb left on a drive, also sendmail does the same, and apache still runs though, but the php module doesnt seem as responsive.

 

time to archive stuff

[Jeremy]

SQL is on another machine with plenty of disk space.
