Okay so I've been with HostGator for over 1 year now, they now send this email in which I have to take action in 7 days. "Hello, To maintain the highest level of performance on our shared servers we have a maximum inode (file) limit of 50,000 inodes (files) per account. The size of the file does not matter, only the number of files. For example, a DVD image (say, 4.5gb) only counts as one inode, or file. Our limit, as outlined in our terms of service, is 50,000 files per account. We generally don't hold people strictly to this limit, but at the same time we expect our users to respect the limits of the system. When an account has hundreds of thousands of files, it significantly degrades overall disk performance, as each file on the disk must be tracked/indexed. An easy analogy would be a table of contents or glossary for a book. If the book only has a few hundred pages, the index or glossary is likely to be small and easy to search. If the book has 5,000 pages, finding what you want might take significantly longer. The file system on a server works in a similar way, just on a larger scale. Our experience has shown that 50,000 files per account is a fair number, and accounts that exceed that by a significant amount cause disk performance issues. This message is to inform you that the listed account has significantly exceeded our limits for disk inodes/files and could potentially lead to disk issues. It is also important to realize that accounts that exceed the inode (file) limit are not backed up by our courtesy weekly backup service, per section 7b of our Terms of Service. Of course, we advise every user to run their own backups to be safe. Accounts over our the 50,000 inode limit are bypassed so that backups can complete in a timely fashion for everyone. Otherwise, accounts with hundreds of thousands or more inodes will utilize more server resources than other accounts, and could lead to file system errors on our backup servers. This account will be re-checked again in 7 days to verify it is below 50,000 files. If this account remains above the maximum inode limit after repeated checks, we'll have to review the situation further and advise a course of action. It is critical that one of the following actions take place before that happens: a) reduce the number of inodes/files. This change must be permanent; if you have a high number of cache files or similar, and you expect them to naturally exceed the inode limit again in the future, the configuration must be changed to limit the total number of cached files. If you are completely unaware of the source of the inodes, it may be that you have left your default mailbox enabled, and never cleared it. Over time, it can fill up with spam, consuming hundreds of thousands of inodes. If you have a catch-all enabled on your account, this can greatly increase the amount of mail/spam that our account receives and will raise your inode usage quickly unless routinely emptied. If you would like assistance clearing these folders from unwanted email or removing the catch-all from your account, please let us know and we would be happy to assist you. The default mailbox is located at: /home/*****/mail/cur /home/*****/mail/new b) upgrade to dedicated service, where inode counts are no longer checked. In many cases, accounts that significantly exceed our inode/file limits have simply outgrown the shared environment, and a dedicated server is the logical choice. In many cases, the transfer from a shared to dedicated server will incur no charge. In rare situations, accounts with excessive numbers of accounts or users may require a fee; the transfer department would advise you of that fact prior to the transfer taking place. If you've read this far, it's clear you're serious about taking care of the issue and we can offer you 50% off off the first month's purchase of a dedicated server. To receive the discount, please: - Reply to this email stating you'd like to upgrade. You will automatically be assigned a ticket number, which will be visible in the subject line. You may need to confirm your email if this is the first time you've ever sent us a ticket or emailed one of our departments. iNodes (Files): 133253/50,000 (266.00%)" So I'm suppose to take action in 7 days? Wow, thanks for telling me now. I mean how am I suppose to clear that space without deleting hostees without warning really? |

If some of you have visited the You Tube page recently, say in the last 5 hours, you may have noticed that I did have another video up, but I did not get the other two up and on Cutenews. For that, my excuse is I was watching The Dark Knight. Kick-ass movie by the way. Best one ever. But anyway, I do have 3 more videos for you this evening, or morning, depending on where you live, and they will take you into the Dark World. Part 7 I believe, If I'm counting right, which I'm probably not. >_> Part 8 Part 9 And of course, the ZO You Tube Page. |

Miyamoto talks about new Zelda.. again!

“As game designers, the trend is often for concentrating on pushing graphics, or other capabilities, or network features in new games. But I like to think that game designers would be better off trying to think about things such as health or mental improvement, rather than technology itself. Making these ‘traditional’ games is what I am best at. Because games of that nature take upwards of two or three years to make, we always have to keep the teams working on those projects going. At any given time, the team could be five to ten people, or it could be 50-plus. People are always switching in and out of those teams. They are all working on more Mario, Zelda and Pikmin projects. And they all work in close proximity to me, so I can keep a good eye on them.” - Shigeru Miyamoto Source: Telegraph Miyamoto Interview |
