Hello All!
I'm experiencing a disk failure (*) on the server that hosts crosstool-NG.
The server is now shutdown until I get a new disk back. :-(
In the meantime, the server is hosted in a virtual machine on my main
machine. That should be absolutely transparent, and you shouldn't notice
any difference.
Sorry for the inconvenience... :-(
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
(*) The disk is only 3 months old, and it's been showing bad sectors since
the second months. I re-did the formating, scanning the full disk for
bad blocks, but new ones appearred just today. Sigh... Time for a SDD,
I guess! :-)
YEM.

What about hosting crosstool-ng on some free software forge, like
Savannah, Gna, or something else ? This way, you wouldn't have to spend
time on system/network administration-related issues.
Sincerly,
Thomas

Well, that's part of the experiment! :-P
And a challenging part, to say the least!
I'd like to be able to be self-hosted, and delegate as less as possible.
Currently, only DNS records are external (on dyndns), and will almost
certainly stay that way for a long time... Andof course I need an ISP.
The most obvious advantages are:
- most important: I learn.
- I'm dependent upon a very few external entities (only ISP and DNS)
- I can customise/update the system at will (software versions...)
- I can grant/veto access at will
- I can run any server I wish (eg. VPN...)
The most obvious drawbacks are:
- availability, but I'm working on that:
- I have at least two physical machines able to host a copy of the server
in a virtual machine, should the real server has a fatal HW failure (as
is the case curently); starting a VM-server is a matter of seconds
- the server is backed up by a UPS that can sustain a two-hour power
outtage
- the machine has one 80GiB disk for the system, and two 500GiB disks,
one for storing live data, the other one will be acting as a /mirror/
that gets rsynced every hour, to serve as level-1 backups; both disks
use a file system different from one to the other
- OTOH, hot-swap HW is too expensive, so fixing the server would require
some downtime
- backups, that's being worked on:
- I have an NSLU2 that I'll setup to do nightly backups onto a dedicated
500GiB HDD that will serve as level-2 backups
- I also have a tape drive to store long-term, level-3 backups
- bandwidth: being behind a DSL line limits my uploads to about 1Mibps,
but that's bearable, crosstool-NG is not that big, and the hg protocol
is quite efficient
- it's expensive and time-consuming, but I enjoyed it so far! :-)
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Hmm,
[/me slowly catching up, again...]
about that mirror, how much space does it require? I could perhaps set
aside some space on ftp://vmlinux.org and an rsync cronjob if you need a
mirror in Sweden.
We could take the details off-list, if you like.
Regards

Hi,
I'd also offer some server space (several 100 MiB wouldn't be a problem
at all). If the traffic is not more than a few dozen GiB every months I
won't care.
