Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [ekohl] 61145: [FASTFAT] FsdGetFsVolumeInformation: Return volume creation time.

by Ged Murphy

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

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

Re: [ros-dev] Ros-dev Digest, Vol 111, Issue 24

by brazguna＠yahoo.com

I heard that ReactOS is nearly 80 or not yet 80 percent complete. I feel that if we are seriously going to for true compatibility with Microsoft Windows it may be a necessary evil to contact Microsoft about this MS-LPL license--and other things. It may be that don't really care either way. It may be they do. But its better to know then not to know in this case I feel. I know the feelings about proprietary code and avoid trade secrets. But what if a good relationship with Microsoft makes or breaks ReactOS? I mean the worst thing that Microsoft will do is say no, or give bogus terms of use. But your expecting that. What if they start to contribute to ReactOS because they see you have a good product, and you are reputable people. -------Original Message------- From: ros-dev-request(a)reactos.org Date: 11/29/13 14:32:25 To: ros-dev(a)reactos.org Subject: Ros-dev Digest, Vol 111, Issue 24 Send Ros-dev mailing list submissions to ros-dev(a)reactos.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ros-dev-request(a)reactos.org You can reach the person managing the list at ros-dev-owner(a)reactos.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Ros-dev digest..."

Fezile server down

by Colin Finck

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

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

Hey guys, website seems to have some bigger problems with mySQL connection overload. SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] Too many connections [1040] An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists. ------------------- PDOException: SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /srv/www/www.reactos.org/drupal/includes/lock.inc). So administrator, I think this counts a s contacting you ^^ Greetings Daniel "EmuandCo" Reimer
