Subject: Re: [webgroup] ibiblio suffers power outage

I would like to address two specific issues concerning many of you at
the moment.  Our server housing /export/distributions (and thus all our
linux distros) is currently running a full filesystem check.  This is a
multi-terabyte machine, the file checks will take many hours, and all we
can do is wait.  We hope you understand.

Secondly, db3.ibiblio.org is also in the midst of filesystem checks and
will be inaccessible for an unknown period of time, affecting
etree.ibiblio.org.

We thank you for your patience.
