We're working on a permanent fix for the hardware problems we saw on Monday. With that, we had a bit of trouble earlier which caused 20 minutes of downtime and we'll likely see one more of those today as we get our final pieces in place.

UPDATE: 12:44PDT: We're having to reboot now which should give us 10 minutes or so of downtime.

UPDATE 1pm PDT: Things are not going as smoothly as expected. We're having problems at the moment and are working to get them resolved. More updates coming soon...

UPDATE 1:09pm PDT: We're back up and running so we can handle things but we still have work to do. Again, more updates when available.

UPDATE: 1:41pm PDT: Another quick reboot required. Should be back in 10 minutes...

UPDATE 1:45pm PDT: Back up again. Still not out of the woods but trying to minimize downtime.

UPDATE 2:01pm PDT: We're doing the hard work now. With our previous testing and current reading, this should go smoothly but I must stress the term "should" because of how things have gone so far today. I'll update again here as things progress.

UPDATE 3:09pm PDT: Things have been going smoothly (as we had hoped!) so far but we will need to do a quick reboot after that -- appx 20 minutes from now and lasting less than 10 mintes. We'll have a final step afterwards which I'll write about once we pass this next point. Again, things are up and running now and have been for a while but our mail is a bit backed up due to the previous outages.

UPDATE 3:22pn PDT: We're gonna do a quick reboot with a new configuration. Should be less than 10 minutes outage.

UPATE 3:39pm PDT: The reboot is not going so well with the new partition. We have some work to do here. Will update again shortly...

UPDATE 5:29pm PDT: Things having been running smoothly for a while but we've had to queue mail for a bit as we get our final pieces in place. While you can send/receive mail, most new mail is not being immediately processed. We have (what I hope is) a final reboot coming up shortly. More details to follow...

UPDATE 6:01pm PDT: We have one more reboot to handle which should take 15 minutes if all goes well. Will report as things progress.

UPDATE 6:10pm PDT: Oversight on our part makes us need to copy a file over and then reboot again. We'r looking at another 15 minutes.

6:56pm PDT: We should be good to go! I'm watching closely but I believe we're out of the woods... finally! Thanks to everyone for their patience.
