Rolling Restart : server version 1.25.3 / 1.25.4

When I read the grid status reports for the past week the same problem(s) appear to be repeated over and over and over. Last weekend was a return to the old style Second Life. I note that in the past there were more detailed explanations of what was happening when service was interrupted or limited than "database issues". Prospero states that the roll-out of the new server version has code to reduce the load on the database "in hopes of making things better" before the weekend starts. It would be great if the new version contains more than just "hopes". Is it not possible to increase the capacity of the database rather than just reduce the load? Here's hoping Propero's hopes are realized. And a big thumbs up for the techs that kept patching things together over the weekend. If you need a fresh supply of baling twine, let me know. Cheers.

!.25 has been rolled out and reverted numerous times always with something that was not or could not be discovered on the beta grid. Now we are getting a quickly patched version of an obviously troubled version rolled out before the weekend with little time to test or even see if a problem developes with the pilot rollout.

Somehow I don't see how any beta grid testing is going to change that. I also have to assume from the tone of your reply that you have done extensive testing on the beta grid, yet still problems got rolled to the live grid.

Considering how many fixes are in 1.25 that were backed up behind Mono/1.24 (probably the biggest factor in making 1.25 a "troubled release", I wouldn't call the reversions "numerous".

And I gather that the serious difference between 1.25.3 and 1.25.4 is a patch to a bug which I kinda suspect exists in 1.24 also. And restoring a patch to a previously fixed touch bug that regressed out, but certainly didn't cause a rollback the first time it happened.


Well, I didn't personally test any dragon avatars or a certain darling's server-crash bug, if that's what you mean. I *have* been involved in a fair amount of testing various content on 1.25 on Aditi, including identifying broken content that *only* fails on Aditi regardless of what server release is up.

But if by "extensive" you mean "extensive enough to guarantee no problems when 1.25.x hits Agni, I'd say, "no, I have not tested that extensively, and I doubt such testing coverage is actually possible"

I won't say 1.25 is bug free, because we know it isn't. 1.24 isn't either. But I assume from *your* tone that you've tested your dance poles on some version of 1.25?

How can u tell a region is pilot region or not??? Where does it say???

we have effed up yet again .....
omfg ....

I think a Pilot Region is anywhere LL decides with no consultation with anyone, at bloody random!

Just wondering if logins are temporarily disabled due to the rolling restart?

EDIT: Disreguard this post please!

Do rolling restarts help to return lost objects that have vanished from inventories?

Im currently using the RC for the main grid , and sadly it hasnt helped the texture DL problem, still crashing about every 60 min or when I select a new texture. mind you I can stay in other worlds all night. so this problem still exists.

PS Argent I love yours and Moos ships.

*pitches camp outside the grid doors waiting to see the 'improvements' *

I've been trying to log in for almost a half hour now. At first, it was due to an unexpected problem. Now it says that logins have been disabled... Any idea when I'll be able to log in?

Pretty sure when most of us are twitching from SL withdrawl dude *passes Mac a cup of coffee*

number of online users has droped below 20k, but still no information in grid status :/

JUST CAN ANYone TELL ME.............. When i can log to SL AGAIN?!!!!! I can't understand anything here!!!!!!!!!!

Theyre upgrading servers... rolling restart then testing stage.. when theyre sure they got the bugs out or know about the ones that suck dirt they let us back in

not working

Rolling restarts aren't scheduled to start for another 3 hours. What are they doing? pre-cooling the hard drives (LOL) or what?

Owwww c`mon guys, roll us back in pls!!! It`s my first day of in weeks and now I am just waiting at the gates of SL.... *cries*

*puts an ice pack on his PC tower*

Good question. and the grid status says nothing about this... I've been regularly checking the grid status...

Some One Tell Me What????/, Why???? How??? When?????
Anything????????????!!!

wel i hope the restart really takes only 30 minutes this time
usually takes all day
so it would surprise me if you pulled it off this time
good luck and i hope you succeed

ah, finally the grid status got it... Maybe "gridstatus: online" in the client should be a bit relativated The remaining ~19k are Bots?

Well whatever,
justed wanted to vent im not amused...
sinds last week..
and i guess it aint worth tying to explain i lost even all my weddingstuff and i figger it is over 1.000.000 of L$ on material gone.
wich i bought for over 1 year now,
and its my rezzday soon to
wow
instead of getting presents i loose my inventory..
and 2 regions and 5/600$ real usa on tier and more, i pay for..each month..its not a game anymore when cash is involved and u loose it due to overal disconnects and server errors...

and dont tell im of topic..cuss im not.

even yesterday when u buy stuff with l$
the messages about transfers come to late..
allways
the damage / loss is done then..
Enjoy the restarts
its like 6/8 hurs now this week
pfff im on 24/7
i get the most errors cuss i use the betatester too..so nice
beeing tester and im loosing all...beta bah

Rolling restarts dont mean restricted logins. Looks to me like alls fecked up again. As usually the grid waits for a momentous announcement from SL (in this case the invasion of XstreetSL and Onrez by Linden lab rats) before going tits up....

remarkable.......
