To: announce@freebsd.org Subject: Mailing list search engine at www.freebsd.org down for repair. Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 01:18:59 -0800 Message-ID: <49472.949569539@zippy.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.cdrom.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Hi all, Our primary mail server, using the special type of evil ESP abilities which all critical hardware items possess, took advantage of everyone (including our postmaster) being away at LinuxWorld in New York to exhibit the "F" in "MTBF" with respect to hard drive specifications. We have mail services running again on a backup system but it will take a little while longer until all other mail-related services (like web search) are restored. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this problem fixed shortly. A situation almost exactly like this (disk hardware failure) occurred with freefall during FreeBSDCon '99, incidently, and with this second incident we've certainly gotten the message: All critical freebsd.org assets will use (hardware) RAID arrays for storage in the future and we'll begin implementing that just as soon as we return. Regards, - Jordan
