I'm expecting to do the upgrade on the 1st itself, likely start time will be around Mon Nov 1 19:00:00 UTC 2010, and I'm hoping for the entire downtime to take no longer than 2 hours. Things that are going to happen during the upgrade: - OS getting upgraded to Fedora 13 w/ custom kernel to solve XFS and disable IMA - Hardware change Google and HP have been very generous enough to get us a new machine for the master / hera machine. The new machine is a dual, quad core Xeon X5550 box with 32G of ram. Beyond that it nearly identical to the current machine. The current machine will become a 'live' backup machine that will sync semi-continuously, and be available should catastrophic failure of master / hera occur. Think that's the main big changes. I'm already working on the upgrade since I have multiple boxes to do this with, and things are looking good so far. As a note the start time is estimated, if there is a major change to the start time I will let everyone know. As always, if you have questions, comments or concerns please e-mail me or ftpadmin@kernel.org - - John 'Warthog9' Hawley Chief Kernel.org Administrator -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzLMVgACgkQ/E3kyWU9did9wACeO0nlEtiX52u6pD3slKtqZ61M ZTgAn3TLwks7sT5ovpf9X6/WSbK7+hcz =gIkm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
