Site will be down for upgrades this month.Posted on: 11/10/08 08:27AM
I will be taking down gelbooru for some hardware upgrades sometime this month. It should not be down for more than one hour, but there is a chance that it may take longer than expected.
Of the upgrades, we'll be adding two 750GB drives and serve our images off a RAID 1 from those two drives. This should decrease image loading time a bit.
If possible, we will also keep our Raptors online to do database backups or control our search database to it.
We are also adding in 2 4GB sticks, replacing 2 2GB sticks. With this extra RAM we should be getting faster speeds on our thumbnails loading time as well as more space for caching.
In a few months time we may also be adding a new image server dedicated to sending out images to your computer reducing load on our main box giving you, hopefully, faster access speeds all across the site.
