Last night we did an upgrade on the kernel to update the system clock to a newer version. This change is required before we add a second node to the cluster. The result of the update is that we have seen system performance improve significantly in the 18 hours since it was implemented. Users have reported performance improvements as well. If you have observations to share, please do: Performance?.
In addition to (and after) the system clock update, we also added in a second node to the cluster, but rolled it back because of some configuration issues. We are working actively to resolve those configuration issues so that we can get the second node running in the cluster.
Some users have reported errors in read tracking and private message notifications, and we believe this to be related to some work on the second node. We are monitoring it closely, and believe these errors to be in the presentation of the data, not in the data itself.
