1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Everything was going so well after we came back on Easter Sunday -- until we noticed our 80GB of storage was quickly and inexplicably filling to capacity. Considering the old board only took up about 40GB, this was something of a surprise. Something was generating gigabytes of files, to the tune of 10GB in our first 12 hours of operation. That's just silly. Clearly there was something weird left behind from the database conversion, but we couldn't figure it out at first because as soon as the storage hit its limit, the board shut down. We couldn't even put up status updates while we were doing repairs. The disk being completely full also meant we also couldn't run our backup program yesterday, meaning we had to revert to the most recent backup we had which was from right before we reopened. So we lost that whole first day's posts. Better than losing everything, of course, but it still sucks. There's a ton more detail, of course, but that's a barebones account of what happened. Any new members who joined just after we re-opened will have to make another new account. Those of you who had their post counts restored will have to re-submit their requests in this thread in RS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 We still have a storage buildup problem, so we have to close again. We called in some professionals this time. We'll keep you posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Can the login cookie duration time value be increased? It seems like it expires sooner than before the software upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the cookie expires after about 60 minutes. Previously the expire was very long -- I could stay logged in for days at a time if I didn't close the browser and/or log off from the site (I purge all cookies when I close my browser). I don't think we need to go back to that, so maybe expire after 12 hours? Update: actually, the expire seems shorter than I previously thought, so now I'm thinking it's not a cookie issue, but maybe a session variable issue. Banks use session variables to automatically expire your session if you're inactive after a certain period of time -- maybe that's what's going on here?

Are you clicking that Remember Me button when you log in? I have that enabled that on my phone and it's keeping me logged in, while on my desktop I left it unchecked and it logs me out all day.

We figured it was more pleasant than the "Fields o: Lavender" scent that we had with the old board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
