There will be two outage windows for Services in July. The first one is completed on today July 8, taking an hour or so longer than the expected outage window. This was due to a mistake made by one of SystemInPlace's technicians while working on the server which hosts Services and the primary US hub. These outages are to deal with a drive failure which is threatening data integrity on that machine; the first outage was to identify and pull the drive which was problematic, the second outage is to replace the drives in multiple stages to ensure that the machine is running on 100% new drives.
Learning from my mistake with estimating the outage window for the first outage, I'm going to estimate that the next outage will be 2 or 3 hours long. The date for this outage is not set yet, as it depends on how fast we receive the replacement drives from Western Digital.
If you have any questions about the network, and these outages, please stop by irc.staticbox.net #staticbox.
Update: The next outage is planned to be Thursday, July 31st to rebuild the RAID array. Thanks!
