Like last week there will be some intermittent downtime as the raid that the BURP storage system uses is recovering from an unfortunate ~8TB of disk failures.
The last two big data-moving tasks require the site to be offline entirely for around 2-3 hours to rescale and migrate some of the core file systems.

for around 2-3 hours to rescale

Erhm, make that 2-3 days... woah resize2fs can be slow.
We didn't quite get there either, more work will have to be done next weekend. So far we're about two thirds of the way to full restoration.

Hi,

I just posted a project; I was unaware of the maintenance until after I posted. I am wondering if this will make the maintenance more difficult. I can repost the project when the maintenance is through.

Thanks,

snaok

Probably no problem, next maintenance window starts Friday afternoon (utc), we can sneak a session or two in there before that.

Ok, just checking.
