[Triumf-linux-managers] mirror.triumf.ca being replaced

[Kelvin Raywood]

mirror.triumf.ca will be replaced tomorrow Tues Jul 21 at 10:00 PDT. 
This is the server used by site Linux machines for installation and 
security updates.  The security updates run at a random time between 
04:00 and 06:00 so should all be complete by 10:00.

The replacement will be quick and transparent to most.  However, any 
open nfs connections to mirror will fail with "Stale NFS file handle".

So please check that your machines do not have mirror.triumf.ca:/public 
mounted.  Feel free to contact me if you have any problems following the 
replacement.

Note that the security updates occur over nfs to mirror, but the 
auto-mounter ensures that the mount-point is released (umount) when the 
file-system has not been used for ten minutes.
