All,
We’re going to be replacing a failing disk backplane in one of the mirrors behind ftp.osuosl.org. Specifically, we’ll be working on ftp-osl which is currently the primary mirror which pulls new content down for the secondary mirrors. During this outage, we won’t be able to pull new content from upstream.
I wasn’t sure if the part would arrive today, but thankfully it did so we’ll be doing this maintenance later this morning and should last about an hour or so. I took this system out of our DNS rotation a few days ago, but other projects might be directly referencing this host.
Apologies for not sending a notice out sooner. I’ll send a notice when we actually start and complete the maintenance.
Thanks for your patience.
