Hello everyone,
We will be taking down mail.ibiblio.org and login.ibiblio.org for a few
hours this coming Saturday, December 1st in order to synchronize the
ibiblio user home directories onto our new Netapp filer.
We will begin at 9:00 a.m. EST and our mail and login services will be
down long enough to do a final synchronisation - which may take a couple
of hours. During this time, you will not be able to check your ibiblio
e-mail account or access login.ibiblio.org.
Our transition onto the new Netapp will help alleviate the performance
bottleneck we encounter at peak times as our servers wait on the primary
Netapp's disks.
Our Web, FTP, rsync, BitTorrent and other services will not be affected
by this outage - we're taking down mail and login to prevent any
filesystem modifications during the transition.
If the timing of this outage poses an insurmountable difficulty to you
for any reason, please do let us know via http://www.ibiblio.org/help and
we'll work something out.
thank you, 919.962.5646 w
