[Triumf-linux-managers] mirror outage : Jul 28, 10:30-11:00

[Kelvin Raywood]

There will be an outage of mirror.triumf.ca tomorrow, Jul 28 for 
approximately 30min from 10:30AM PDT.  You should not start any TRIUMF 
kickstart installations tomorrow morning to avoid a failure when mirror 
goes down.

This will not affect the overnight automatic updates which all run 
between 04:00 and 06:00.  Also, unlike the outage last week, it will not 
cause stale NFS mounts whenit comes back online, as there'll be no 
change to the file-system. However, if you do have an nfs mount open, it 
will hang for the duration of the outage.

If the timing of this outage is inconvenient for you, please let me know 
and I'll choose an alternate time.
