  • *NEWS.TCPRESET SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE*: Service Interruption at 00:00 CEST (Paris Time)

    From Gabx@administrator@news.tcpreset to mail2news on Mon Sep 22 15:13:32 2025
    From Newsgroup: news.admin.peering

    Hello everyone,

    Please be advised that we will be performing critical maintenance on our news server tonight.

    The service will be shut down at midnight (00:00 CEST, Paris/DE time, 22:00 UTC) on September 23rd. The downtime is necessary to repair a corruption in the overview database (`tradindexed`) which is currently blocking the propagation of all new articles.

    We expect the maintenance to last for several hours. The NNTP service will be unavailable during this period.

    We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

    Gabx

    Hello everyone,

    The propagation failure was caused by a corrupt overview database
    (tradindex), which prevented the server from accepting any new articles.

    During the downtime, we performed a full rebuild of the overview
    database directly from the article spool.

    Server logs look stable, and my initial monitoring shows that the
    underlying corruption is resolved and reader clients can access articles correctly.

    We are now monitoring the news flow and would appreciate it if users and
    peers could confirm if they see propagation from our site returning to
    normal. Your feedback would be very helpful in confirming that the issue
    is fully resolved for everyone.

    Thank you for your patience during this process.

    I crashed tradindex and tradspool more than once
    just by doing nothing...I don't know what...

    My preferred overview method is ovsqlite and cyc buffs storage.

    Using ZFS w/ compression=lz4 can do near 3x and cost no performance
    and did not break yet :D
