MySQL is being migrated to a new server. All MySQL databases will be locked to prevent editing while the migration is happening. However, all data will still be in read-only mode. Once the migration is done, we will post an update. Thank you for your patience.
Update 7:15 AM: The migration has been completed successfully.
Hello OCF Users,
Tonight our back-end file server had a RAID failure that initially looked like full swap space. We hard-rebooted after a few minutes wait for the server to reboot itself.
It's lucky that this RAID failure took place during off hours so we can begin maintenance immediately. Expect a post again when the RAID issues are fully resolved.
Update March 11: This RAID failure was on a drive that did not have user data on it. There are no problems at all. Sorry for the delayed post. This problem was solved the same day as the RAID failure.
Tonight, the web server ran out of swap space and is currently experiencing downtime.
Since there are updates pending on the server, rebooting it runs the risk of it not booting up properly afterwards.
Work on the (much more powerful) virtual machine that will become the new web server began a week ago, and staff will meet this Saturday to finish it.
Update Jan 26 8pm: Fixed, but there may be downtime on Saturday as web hosting is migrated to a new server.
