Between 00:30am and 01:00am EDT on Wednesday, 17 June (tomorrow, aka
"late tonight"), there will be a restart of the SIPB afs cell server
ronald-ann.mit.edu. This outage is expected to last about two minutes
and forty seconds, however it could be substantially longer.
During this time, clients may time out and report "afs: Lost contact
with file server 18.181.0.19 in cell sipb.mit.edu"; this behavior is
normal. Non-replicated lockers on ronald-ann will be inaccessible
during this time, including portions of the "mozilla", "outland", and
"tcl" lockers.
Zephyr notices will be sent to instance "consult" before and after the
outage.
We apologize for the lateness of notices regarding these sorts of
outages lately.
The purpose of this outage is to remove a suspect disk from service.
Please direct any commentary to <sipb-afsreq@mit.edu>.
Thanks!
