Scheduled downtime
Sometime in the near future (either this weekend or next weekend) this server will be taken down for maintenance. I will try to post here in advance when I decide the best time to go down is, but just in case you miss the announcement you will know why the server is down.
Among software updates, perhaps the greatest change is I will be upgrading the hard drives currently on the server. The data hard drive will become the new system drive and allow plenty of space for kernel upgrades and additional software installations. Things are getting pretty cozy on the 4 GB hard drive currently on the machine. Meanwhile, to fill the empty hard drive slot I will install a *new* 80 GB hard drive to accommodate the web site and user files. Admittedly the 16 GB drive has been plenty of space (my primary concern is the 4 GB system hard drive), but perhaps the extra space will encourage more activity.
Update: The timetable has moved up a few days. The upgrade will occur tomorrow (08/22/2007) evening. Tomorrow at roughly 6:00 PM the server will go down. The server will be back online when the upgrade is complete, whenever that may be.
Update 2: And we’re back. For the most part…
