One thing that can take a considerable amount of time and blocks all other activity are database search commands like 'show/dx somerarecall' and 'show/log someunknowncall'. If your spots go back a long time or your logs then that would account for some of it. However, I have never seen it cause a restart.<br>

This evening... I had about an hour of regular disconnects for users...<br>
watched the server processor hit 70%... eventually, the node restarted<br>
completely... meanwhile, the server was not restarted.<br>
<br>
I will not have much hair soon... I'm gonna pull it out.<br>

Hmmm... that occurred to me also (which is the way I normally do<br>
this with Windows servers).<br>

Is there no more to the exercise except copying the /spider tree<br>
over? (ie. I'm not really a "Linux guy")<br>

Not normally. There may be an issue with the user, usdb and qsl data<br>
files because of incompatibilities between different versions of<br>
Berkeley database file formats and/or Storable versions. But, to a<br>
large extent, these are now a thing of the past. But if you need to:<br>
the first two can be easily regenerated (from the user_asc and<br>
pretending to do an "update" for usdb), the "live data" qsl info<br>
that is collected automatically can be regenerated using<br></span>

spots, it can take a while - I have been collecting them since 1997 :-).<br>
<br>
If you have the two machines side by side and there a network<br>
connection, the easiest way to replicate is to login as the "sysop"<br>
user to the new box then:<br>
<br>
$ cd /spider<br>
$ rsync -avz sysop@oldbox:/spider/* .<br>
<br></span>
When you try start <a href="http://cluster.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">cluster.pl</a> <<a href="http://cluster.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://cluster.pl</a>> you will probably<span class=""><br>
find that there are packages that you have forgotten to load (I<br>
always do anyway). Just load the missing packages and, with a<br>
following wind, it should all just spring into life.<br>
