I understand this was a short notice antic. But really, both servers are facing issues that could cause them to be down for longer if we do not correct them.
This is urgent maintenance, where we are trying to give some sort of notice (48 hours) before performing
But it wasn’t 48 hours’ notice.. I got the email at 2am this morning here (UTC+8) on the 15th. First maintenance is 15th, 11:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), which is the 16th, 11:30AM here. Unless I’m miscalculating, that’s 33.5 hours after getting the notice.
If I hadn’t been working late, I would have seen the email at 9am, which makes it 26.5 hours notice.
We had some drives overnighted but they did not ship the day of order, so I delayed the announce until I got notice of the shipping and saw it in UPS database.
It is partially my fault, but I have burn burned on one overnight delivery in the last 2 weeks already, just getting a package today that was sent last Tuesday, and it was wet and moldy, like it was dropped in the lake and left there.
I was not happy, and processing insurance claim on that now(no it was not the hard drives)
