Hi Eric, I know this has been discussed before, but should we not just bite the bullet and replace this driver with the Microsoft driver. The MS_LPL license allows it to be used in reactos, and it would certainly get rid of any unknowns and give us a reliable filesystem to work from. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowshardware/fastfat-File-System-Driver-1… Ged. -----Original Message----- From: ros-diffs-bounces(a)reactos.org [mailto:ros-diffs-bounces@reactos.org] On Behalf Of ekohl(a)svn.reactos.org Sent: 29 November 2013 14:06 To: ros-diffs(a)reactos.org Subject: [ros-diffs] [ekohl] 61145: [FASTFAT] FsdGetFsVolumeInformation: Return volume creation time.

Status Meeting (November 2013)
by Aleksey Bragin 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Hello, Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place last Thursday of this month, 28th of November, 19:00 UTC. Put that into your calendars so you don't forget. And that's tomorrow! IRC service will only be started shortly before the meeting. Your participation passwords and server address will be emailed to you shortly before the meeting starts, and they are going to be different once again as they are not stored in any database. Hopefully it's not much of inconvenience. If someone still is not getting passwords sent before a meeting - please email Pierre before the meeting started to get one. The agenda will be posted shortly before the meeting, suggestions are welcome (send them to me shortly before the meeting starts). Hermes sent the first suggestion well before the meeting, so please follow his example and send your suggestions too. Regards, Aleksey Bragin

Fezile server down
by Colin Finck 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi all, Apart from the critical servers hosted in Germany, we can operate our own network in Sweden by courtesy of Jan Blomqvist-Kinander. Today, the infrastructure team has set up a new switch there, which is meant to increase the network performance, allow a better intrusion detection and offer more ports. Most of our machines could be successfully moved to that switch, except for Fezile. Due to unexpected networking problems, this machine became unavailable even for us and needs to be rebooted manually. It's also one of our older servers without an IPMI module, so we can't remotely reboot it. The server outage affects the following services: * iso.reactos.org * doxygen.reactos.org * cppcheck.reactos.org * VMware Player Test slave I'm very sorry for the additional downtime this has caused. Once the server is up again, we'll do our best to prevent this from happening again. Take my word that I'll write a report for the website about the recent infrastructure changes, so you can get an idea of our additional resources :) With best regards, Colin

Server downtime on Saturday
by Colin Finck 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi all, In the process of improving the performance of our infrastructure, we will upgrade the first of two servers this Saturday. This will result in a downtime for the following services: * SVN * Mail and mailing lists * BuildBot * Testman * GIT mirror * File server at svn.reactos.org * Compatibility Database * ev.reactos.org * Second nameserver * RosKGB bot The upgrade will in particular increase CPU performance as well as RAM and HDD sizes, so we will have more resources available afterwards. Our current server has served us well since 2009, so don't expect such an upgrade to happen again in the next few years. We're aware that this affects many core services, so we will do our best to keep the downtime as low as possible. Our target is <12h. Gladly, we have already done such an upgrade in the past, so it mainly boils down to the speed of transferring files over the network. Meanwhile, we apologize for the caused inconveniences. With best regards and on behalf of the whole infrastructure team, Colin Finck

Hi, These failures were due to work on the local network. They should be fixed by now and ISOs uploaded. If you catch a missing ISO, please re-issue a build. Sorry for the caused inconvenience.

ReactOS website issues
by Pierre Schweitzer 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Hi all, This is an acknowledgment and informative email. Since we migrated the ReactOS website to Drupal, you all have spotted critical performances issues. We did our best to address most of them in the following days to ensure smooth browsing on the website. Unfortunately we could not fix them all. Even worse, nowadays, ReactOS website faces a kind of "shutdown" everyday (approximately between 2:45 AM CET and 4:45 AM CET). This is a really long and critical downtime that affects mainly US users due to timezones. Be sure we are aware about it. Unfortunately, this is not something we can fix from a day to the following. This is due to our backup policies that completely lock the MySQL server to ensure consistent backups. We are currently working on getting this fixed as fast as possible. But this will require (besides the rest) a two hardware upgrades on our infrastructure. Indeed, Drupal stresses our infrastructure much more than old RosCMS. And we have to fully rethink our web infrastructure and redistribute it, which we cannot do at the moment due to hardware constraints. Upgrading our hardware will be in our first steps (obviously, expect downtimes at that moment). Then, we will finally be able to replicate our MySQL server to perform load-balancing and prevent shutdowns on backup. We, the sysadmins team and the website team, agreed on a plan about how to enhance and strengthen the infrastructure, and thus fix all the issues we are currently facing. This will take some time, but we are working together to get ReactOS website back into a decent shape. Be assured that we are doing our best to make your place nice. Meanwhile, please forgive us the caused inconvenience. With my best regards, on behalf of the guys working behind the scene, -- Pierre Schweitzer<pierre at reactos.org> System Administrator ReactOS Foundation

External feelings about the project
by Hermès BÉLUSCA - MAÏTO 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

There are a few things PR-oriented people should think about for our website (improvements, things that may have to be more in evidence, ), i.e. having external feedback can help us knowing how newcomers think, what they have in mind when they see for the first time the ReactOS website : http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2 <http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12845#p104624> &t=12845#p104624 Hermès.
