As a result the images were temporarily removed from several very-frequently-used templates to decrease the load and assist with site performance. In addition to the temporary image removals the following work is happening: </p> <ol><li>A new server to be used for this if necessary, and as a database server if not, is being purchased. This will have 1.2TB of disk space using six 400GB SATA drives and 8 or 16GB of RAM. The current machine has just under 1TB in RAID 5 and 1GB of RAM.</li> <li>Some of the image-size checking which is done by loading images off the image server is going to be moved to database fields so the image server doesn't need to read the images to get the information with each page view.</li> <li>One developer is writing a distributed image/blob tool which will let us spread the images around a large number of machines.</li> <li>A cache to help reduce the amount of image loading has been added but didn't make sufficient difference.</li></ol> <p>All projects are affected and it would be helpful, and make page loading faster, if images in templates used by more than about 500 articles were temporarily removed. Please add an entry on this page so we can easily undo this when it is no longer necessary. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed" data-mw-thread-id="h-Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed"></span>Images temporarily hidden or removed<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Image_server_overload_2005-03&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Images temporarily hidden or removed"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="en_wikipedia" data-mw-thread-id="h-en_wikipedia-Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-en_wikipedia-Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed"></span>en wikipedia<span data-mw-comment-end="h-en_wikipedia-Images_temporarily_hidden_or_removed"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Image_server_overload_2005-03&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: en wikipedia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>To reduce server load, I have commented out images on the following pages.
