Hi everyone,

On Tuesday, April 3rd, nearly all ibiblio services will be unavailable
for what we hope will be a short period of time starting around 7:30 p.m.
EDT. We are hooking more disk trays up to our Netapp filer, and must halt
the machine to do so. During this time login, mail, and web services will

The actual work will take a few minutes. Bringing back each of our
machines and services and checking their mounted filesystems may take a
little longer. We apologize for the short notice, but tomorrow is the
only time the Netapp engineer turned out to be available.

Just a note

Sorry for the inconvenience

Late

Yeah, but it's really nice to know in advance... especially, to know that it's a planned short-term maintenance outage. I find it frustrating when there's no prior notice and I have no idea if it will be back up in a couple hours or several days.

My thanks go out to ISO for the advance notice, and to Antikx for an alternate place to hang!
