raff, db, bugs downtime etc.
[ This isn't appropriate for debian-devel (or debian-devel-announce), I
know - hopefully there'll be somewhere more appropriate at some
point that's actually read by more people than the closest thing
(-project). ]
Hi,
(1) raff was shutdown last Friday evening by mistake (due to a
miscommunication between me and the local admin) - unfortunately
due to a hardware fault, raff is not coming back.
As it happened this coincided horribly well with some downtime I
was having due to a disk failure on my home machine, so I didn't
get the mail from the local admin about it until Monday.
Anyway, raff is: archive.debian.org, half of ftp.debian.org, part
of {http,ftp}.us.debian.org and DNS master. These services are
being migrated as fast as possible to other hosts... which brings
us to point #2.
(2) I had to bring newsamosa (db.debian.org) down for an hour or so
earlier in order to repartition it to make room for some of the
new services. [It wasn't done before it went live because the
migration of db.d.o to newsamosa was done ahead of schedule as
part of the recovery process.] Sorry for the lack of notice.
(3) FYI (and entirely unrelated): spohr (bugs.debian.org) is going
down for a couple of hours at ~8AM GMT today (2004-03-24) as part
of some hardware maintenance the OSUOSL folks are doing.
