On Saturday, December 15, 2007, Thayer Computing Services will be upgrading the physical infrastructure of our ThayerFS file server. This new system will provide larger and more cost-effective storage capacity.
In order to perform this upgrade, ThayerFS will be taken offline and will be unavailable from 8:00am until 2:00pm on December 15th. Our hope is that the upgrade will be completed in less time than this, but it may take the full six hours. Once the system is back online, we will send e-mail to the community. Note that this outage will not effect e-mail, internet, or any other network services other than ThayerFS.
During this upgrade, we will also be moving the data in the Research share to different physical disks. During this move, Research will be accessible, but will be read-only. This move could take up to ten hours from the time that ThayerFS is back online, but may be done sooner. We will send separate e-mail regarding the status of this move.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail computing@thayer.dartmouth.edu.
Your Friendly Computing Services Team
