There will be a brief interruption of all services around 4pm today in order to reboot what is now serving as the main file server. (mail spool will be moved back to another machine after it is configured with RAID10 file systems and better cooling).

     This is necessary in order to install a kernel that fixes some interrupt latency issues that is causing a higher load than should exist given that CPU and I/O utilization are very low.

     Normally I would be doing this late at night but because the last two reboots have had complications that required a trip to the co-location facility, I want to be on-site when I do this and I need to make a trip to Fry’s to pick up a cabinet and cooler for the machine being reconfigured.
