CSDb moving to a new server
In a few hours CSDb will be moved to my new dedicated server which should provide better performance for surfing CSDb.
The process will take a few hours because of the vast amount of data that needs to be moved, and the slow inet access the old server has. The new server however has a huge bandwidth. :)
This is just for information purposes, so that when in a few hours CSDb will be shut down, it will not come as a surprise.

it's a lot faster, but I wonder how much this is because of the lesser number of users |

The main differences between the old server and the new one is:
- The old one hosted unknown number of misc. sites. This one hosts only CSDb. (and a couple of 5 hits-a-day-family-pages :) )
- I'm not sure about CPU, but I think the new have at least the same speed, and it have twice the ram.
- The old had a standard ADSL. Estimate it had about 384kbit upstream. The new have >10mbit

to check what cpu you have now, run /bin/dmesg ;)
assuming this is running on linux |

Ok. Now you are not nice. How does that make me look like one who is supposed to run a server?? ;)
Well. I knew which CPU I got on the new server. An Xeon 2.6ghz, but using your tip i found out that the cpu on the old server was an celeron 2.4ghz.
(PS. Both machines are running FreeBSD)
Yesyes.. I'm a newbee regarding servers. OK?!?? :) |

cat /proc/cpuinfo
Should give you some nice info, at least on my Gentoo boxen ;-) |

That one I knew about :) - however it looks like the /proc/ dir is empty pr. default on freeBSD!? |

That might very well be true, I had FreeBSD running on one of my systems some time ago, don't remember how /proc looked... In Linux you can usually do something like:
mount -t proc none /proc
No idea if that'll work with *BSD-systems though, it seems *BSD's /proc filesystem is a bit different from Linux' /proc filesystem.
A bit of googling gave me this command for FreeBSD:
sysctl -a
That is supposed to give you a lot of information about your cpu, memory and such. Can't check it myself now, I haven't got FreeBSD installed at the moment :)

Now the transfer to the new server is all complete after a little DNS problems.
If you find any other problems which might be related to the transfer, don't hesitate to speak up.
I hope you can feel that surfing CSDb have improved on this new server, and that you perhaps would be willing to give a little donation to help pay for it. :) |
