Slashdot is Moving. Help Load Test!

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday October 29, 2002 @07:11AM from the please-wear-a-hardhat dept.

We're moving the Slashdot cluster from Exodus East to Exodus West in the next couple days. In good Slashdot Tradition, we've opened up brak.slashdot.org for you to help load test the new cluster. Currently its almost an exact copy of our existing setup (missing a couple of webheads which will be up soon). The actual move will occur late at night (most likely tonight or tomorrow depending on how things go), and will hopefully involve only a few minutes of downtime as we copy the last of the data over the continent. Thanks for your help.

Since you're apparently in a "meta" mood, can you tell me what happened to Jon Katz? I miss him.

Does this mean that response times will be worse for Europeans? Or does modern routing make that irrelevant?

Maybe an update is in order?
