ibiblio services/changes announcement list

  Hello ibiblio-announce,

  First, the bad news.  There will be another window of downtime for the 
mysql.ibiblio.org service, hopefully some time tomorrow (which is today 
at this hour).

  The good news is that the downtime is for the purpose of migrating 
mysql.ibiblio.org back onto its proper hardware once IBM delivers our 
replacement RAID controller.  We got useful error messages out of it 
tonight, and IBM is reacting accordingly.

  mysql.ibiblio.org is currently running off of pinch-hitting hardware, 
which may be slightly slower due to its drive configuration, but will keep 
us up and serving until we get back onto db1.

  At present our high-profile sites which rely on mysql.ibiblio.org are up 
and serving, and we're awaiting a call from IBM with our part.  As always, 
please send questions or concerns to help AT ibiblio.org , and thank you 
again for your patience.

  thank you,                                    919.962.5646 w
