Sorry about all the downtime. Thank you very much for keeping everything up and running for years now, Jim. A lot of the good Java Libre stuff that happened in the past years would not have happened without you providing the playground for it. cheers, dalibor topic ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

Also, I'd like to upgrade Xen to a more modern version if possible. I'm planning to take the server down in about 3 hours (around 2pm Pacific Time). Hopefully, it won't take me too long to investigate and/or upgrade it. There is always the possibility that things won't go well with the RAID or the upgrade. I only have the one server online, so if I encounter any big problems, please be patient as I try to figure out the best way to recover. Luckily, I do have recent backups. This will affect jimpick.com, kaffe.org, developer.classpath.org, planet.classpath.org, and icedtea.classpath.org. While the server is down, my jimpick.com/kaffe.org email addresses will not be working. I can still be reached at my backup email address at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The server is back now. If you see anything strange, send me an email. I'm going to have take the server offline again for some extended downtime. It seems that I'm having some difficulty rearranging the data on the drives while all the Xen sessions are online (probably due to kernel bugs). I really need to do that, as running the software RAID in a degraded state seems to be somewhat fragile. There are some other issues to address as well. So I'm going to take the server offline so I can rebuild things in single user mode. I'm not sure how long it will take -- I'm guessing that it may take between 10-20 hours. Hopefully, I can get the VMs back online for tomorrow. Cheers, - Jim ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
