Oskar Linden Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 We are doing an emergency server deploy to the entire grid tonight. This was unplanned, but warranted. I can post more details when we are finished. This will take most of the rest of the evening. This will affect all regions and all channels. __Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oskar Linden Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 It will require a restart for all regions. It is happening now. __Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deej Kasshiki Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 This is all very cryptic and vague. Any chance that we'll be told just what the heck is going on and why the need for this emergency deploy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milano Ferrentino Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 What ever happened to at least posting these on the Concierge Channel as a notice. I thought we'd gotten down on our knees and begged for that and it was agreed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar Linden Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Milano, I'm sorry you weren't notified. I was not aware of this Concierge Channel and I apologize that it was not notified. I asked Concierge to look into it. __Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Nacon Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Emergency, eh? Sounds like someone found a exploit or some kind of loophole. No wonder why it's getting quiet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitomi Tiponi Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 All restarts have been completed - if you are having problems I suggest you yell, in the nicest way.:smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexi Raynier Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Oskar it is refreshing the hear you admit you did not know of the concierage agreement, apparently LL communiscates no better with you than with us, which is not your fault but says volumes about your superiors. Some questions that it would be nice if you would address with equal candor. One is this a rollback of all the restarts of the last two days and, if so will we be faced with another restart this morning. Two what went wrong here it would seem to be a security issue, but even a security issue can be described in such a way that no vital information is given out. Finally, how will this effect service and performance are we to expect more crashes and more inventory problems as seem to be indicated by the trouble I had loading inventory awhile ago. Please do not take this as a criticism of you but as a reflection of frustration at the arrorgance and utter lack of communication of Linden Lab as a whole and my growing doubts that sl is worth either the time or money people have invested in it. As for your, your performance with the restarts has, after a rocky start due to the Linden blackout has been generally good, and if the rest of LL were up to your standard, things might be better off.

Oskar Linden Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 This was a security issue and on principle we only discuss them after they are patched. This was a patch to fix a content theft hole. Had we mentioned that before, then everyone who knew of the exploit would have worked like made to exploit it while it was still exploitable. It's happened before. All seems well on the grid now and hopefully we can have a nice peaceful St Patricks Day and a weekend with no more security patches and no more rolling restarts. Next Tuesday/Wednesday will resume the regularly scheduled upgrades. __Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexi Raynier Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That is more than understandable and actually today's restart yielded some very unexpected bonuses in the behavior of beds and things that have been bugged for a good while now. Hopefully eventually we will see a fix for the broken quicktime problem some of us are having as well. I am sure though after the pattern of rollbacks we have experienced over the last several months you can see why we would view a late night restart with a large degree of anxiety and suspicion. It is good though to get a clear explanation and hope the hole is plugged for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
