Done*
*for now, anyway. The mentioned host has been upgraded to: Debian GNU/Linux 7.5 (wheezy) Even got 64-bit kernel installed and host is running on that. More to do (clean-up/housekeeping, catch up on log entries, remainder of conversion to 64-bit, also want to convert remaining reiserfs filesystems to ext4) - but those tasks will be later and/or non-disruptive. I'll mention when there are activities that will cause (even intermittent) outages again ... at least more than very brief, anyway.
From: "Michael Paoli" Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu Subject: some intermittent disruptions to some (mostly non-production) BALUG services Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:03:49 -0700
Will be doing some system upgrades, so, some ancillary BALUG services will be intermittently unavailable.
Note that this WILL NOT IMPACT: main web site and its pages: http://www.balug.org/ nor our mail lists or email infrastructure.
It WILL IMPACT some other services, at least intermittently, e.g.: http://www.archive.balug.org/ http://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki etc.
Technical details: If it's on 208.96.15.254 it will be impacted. The (qeum-kvm) virtual machine guest on that IP will be getting upgraded from: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.9 (squeeze) i386 to: Debian GNU/Linux 7.5 (wheezy) (and possibly also up/cross graded from i386 to amd64, or may defer that)
