The CSClub maintains our user data (/users) on our primary server, caffeine. When this system goes down, all of our other machines are rendered effectively unusable. Since this is our primary server, it also runs Kerberos, LDAP, Apache, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. This system is also the system most of users use. As such, caffeine is frequently upgraded, which increases the chances of it malfunctioning and going down. Caffeine has been down a number of times in the past. |

Dedicated disk server
The CSClub maintains our user data (/users) on our primary server, caffeine. When this system goes down, all of our other machines are rendered effectively unusable. Since this is our primary server, it also runs Kerberos, LDAP, Apache, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. This system is also the system most of users use. As such, caffeine is frequently upgraded, which increases the chances of it malfunctioning and going down. Caffeine has been down a number of times in the past.
We have looked into different fallover systems, but we have not found a successful solution. We would like to create a dedicated disk server that would be used exclusively for holding /users and would not be used as a general-use machine. We are asking for the following hardware:
- Motherboard: M2A-VM - $72
- Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ - $78
- Case/PSU: Antec NSK3480 - $90
We would move the 2 SATA disks from caffeine (400 GB each) and a 40 GB IDE disk from caramel-colour into the new disk server. The total amount we are requesting is $240.
