debian-bugs down
cus.cam.ac.uk, the system where the debian-bugs messages are
processed, has suffered a failure of the fileserver holding user home
directories.
With a bit of luck only a few debian-bugs messages (30 minutes' worth,
perhaps) if any will have been lost totally; more information on
whether this is true won't be available until they've managed to bring
the system back. In the meantime, Bruce: can you please take a copy
of the mail logfiles that you'd need to use to identify the senders of
any lost messages. The mail logs on CUS were not on the failed
server.
Messages to debian-devel will be queued at Pixar; hopefully CUS will
be back before the SMTP timeout kicks in and starts bouncing them. If
they bounce they'll bounce to nobody@pixar.com, and we can decide what
to do then.
One of my email addresses, iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk, is also on the failed
system. Please don't send it any mail; use ian@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk
instead - that's where mail for iwj10@cus is forwarded. I don't
expect any mail to iwj10@cus to have been lost - though it does pass
through my filespace there it only does so briefly before being sent
on to chiark.
The debian-bugs area at www.cl.cam.ac.uk will not be updated until the
system comes back, but will be available in the meantime and reflects
the most up-to-date information available.
More news as it becomes available.
Ian.
