From dwmw2 at infradead.org Fri May 24 11:28:23 2013 From: dwmw2 at infradead.org (David Woodhouse) Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 16:28:23 +0100 Subject: Bombadil outage over the weekend Message-ID: <1369409303.1340.53.camel@i7.infradead.org> OLPC are moving out of their current office, and will no longer be able to host bombadil.infradead.org. It's being transferred to a machine in SF ? the contents of the disk are being rsync'd as I type this. Unfortunately the new machine isn't quite available yet, so it's going to be hosted as a VM as an interim measure. There will be some downtime this weekend as I disable all services on the current machine, mount its file system read-only and do a final rsync over to the VM, and then cross my fingers and bring the VM up as the new machine. This will happen again in a few days when the real hardware becomes available and bombadil moves over to that. But hopefully the outage will be shorter that time as the final rsync is only over a local network, and I'll already have done the procedure once. If you wish to move your @infradead.org mail to another machine in the cluster (or elsewhere), you can use the 'infradeadmail' command to change where your mail lands. Run 'infradeadmail alias foo at example.com' to send your mail there, for example. If you omit the username, it just uses your own username. So 'infradeadmail alias @casper.infradead.org' might be useful, if you have an account there. Or 'infradeadmail alias @merlin.infradead.org'. If you don't have an account on another machine in the cluster, I can easily give you one. Or you can direct your mail elsewhere. Or you can just live with a brief outage this weekend; you don't *have* to move, of course. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the physical machine (a mini tower) which is currently bombadil. If anyone has ideas for a comfortable home in the Boston area or further afield where it would be equipped with power and a static IP address and sit in the corner unnoticed, that would be much appreciated ? it could be brought back online as another machine in the cluster, to give us further redundancy. -- dwmw2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
