More Memory Upgrades
Posted (November 22nd, 2006 at 12:44 am PST) by PatrickThe following servers will have their RAM upgraded over the next couple of hours:
caesar, wasabi, rexford, alameda, vermouth, bourbon, and leeloo
Not all of these machines require a BIOS flash like last night, but a few of them do. We’ll knock those out of the way early. First up, caesar and wasabi!
- UPDATE Tue Nov 21 23:56:31 PST 2006 -
Both caesar and wasabi are back up and running nicely. Next up, rexford and alameda…
- UPDATE Wed Nov 22 00:17:14 PST 2006 -
Rexford and alameda are both back up and running happily. Finally, vermouth, bourbon, and leeloo take the plunge.
- UPDATE Wed Nov 22 00:31:03 PST 2006 -
The last three RAM upgrades went smoothly. Vermouth, bourbon, and leeloo are all back up and running properly.

i am so sick of my sites being down… they arent even ever on servers discussed here….
You might try asking on the forums. (discussion.dreamhost.com). Some issues are not server related and a bit of diagnosis can help get things going.
I have to assume that you’ve reported to support since there’s not a damn thing anyone can do in here with the information you’ve provided.
mike: why don’t you try using gmail hosted?
I’m using it for my hosting package at dreamhost. This way I can use google’s spam protection feature. And 2 giga stored email. So i can save space for another purpose.
Silent, do you mean just using Gmail, or actually switching the connection around to feed off Gmail’s mail service? (I forget the name for it.)
If you meant to just use Gmail, that’s not really a fix. There’s always the issue of forgetting that certain people that only know the one address would be forgotten and then what? That’s not good if the email address that WAS the main was just shut down. I thought about doing something like that, but like I just mentioned, I have loads of people and companies that I still do get emails from, but I don’t remember who all has my email address.
Also, as I mentioned in another post’s comments, there’s NO way to block the new flood of spam that involves the continual use of a partial name or address base that changes. In their emails, the subject is always like “Hey, it’s me, …” with some random name, and that message changes as well to like “It’s me again …” It’s really frustrating. I thought going into the Keyword Filter would help, but you can’t expect the “*” astrick to hold out for fillers in this case.
Why doesn’t Licorice get a nice upgrade?
It’s on the slow side.
A problem which you discuss is very important for me. Thank you for your resume.
Thanks you dreamhost for the great work done. Dreamhost Rocks!
Thank goodness! Vermouth and Wasabi have more RAM!
So, when will DH be addressing the fact that SPAM ASSASSIN is re-tagging known (and ranked SPAM) as “0″ and letting it through to users? It’s a known and acknowledged issue. When will it be fixed? When will it be publicly acknowledged so users can understand why SPAM ASSASSIN is effectively useless?
Yes. This is my personal “Holy Grail.”
