We're going to do a series of three software upgrades on afs
fileservers this week.  Each will take approximately ninety minutes,
and will start at approximately 1:00am on the day indicated.

  clytemnestra: Thursday March 29 (Wednesday night)
  demeter: Friday March 30 (Thursday night)
  nyx: Saturday March 31 (Friday night)

During the outages, all volumes on the affected file server will be
unavailable; clients may see messages such as:
  afs: lost contact with fileserver 18.158.0.51 in cell athena.mit.edu

To find out which fileserver a particular locker is on, you can run
  add consult
  lookup lockername

Status notifications will be sent to the consult instance, as usual.
