Differences between revisions 8 and 9

Upgrade, flask, sage 4.7, and ext4 filesystem

People: W. Stein, J. Grout, M. Hansen

Database

If we stick with the filesystem: NEED a very fast filesystem that supports > 4 million inodes and > 32000 directories per directory, i.e., ext4. This is difficult because boxen and sage.math are both Ubuntu 8.10.
Also, want to at a minimum have user and worksheet metadata stored in database so startup is faster.
Could run the server in a virtual machine, which would support ext4. But are virtual machines fast enough these days? They weren't last year. This would be worth trying.
Or stick with the filesystem (see below).

(mhansen is doing this) Fix the __worksheet object to not load everything. Scary stuff if you look at notebook.py.
(mhansen) Write a script to prune the filesystem, e.g., deleting cell directories that are empty.
(mhansen?) Make it so user directories are stored in a hierarchical way. E.g., home/_store/

I tried install virtualbox 4 on sage.math and failed, due to the Linux source and Linux kernel being out of sync somehow. Probably just needs an upgrade and reboot.
I am scared to upgrade virtualbox on boxen.math.
The Virtualbox on boxen.math is somewhat unstable and very old.
