MPRRS Problems
A few days ago, the MPRRS began to have some trouble; folks were having difficulty uploading files. Turns out... our temporary upload directory was full of failed uploads; we'd run out of space. (My bad, for not clearing it on a regular basis. STANDARD files were cleared - but corrupted ones weren't.) The easiest solution was to move the temp directory to a partition with more space (100 times more space, actually) - but I was careless, and missed several places in the upload scripts where this directory was referenced. Because of this, all uploads SINCE the fix (which happened Friday) have vanished into the ether; uploaded nicely, but ignored when the scripts attempted to move the file from a now-empty directory to their final resting place, and cleared by automatic purgers later in the day. Apologies. If you've submitted a file since the end of last week, you should do so again. (I know it works now; I just submitted a movie for an uploader who thought the problem was on his end.) We've got tons of bandwidth left this month; here's hoping a lot of people have decent movies to submit! Update: Sorry, still busted; for some reason, it's truncating files at 10 MB after the upload. Until I figure out why, please hold off on uploading. (I'll
post something as soon as I've solved the problem.) Update 2: Okay - it's working again. I blame the gnomes. (Louis Wu 18:20:29 UTC)
