Notice: Brief Downtime Expected Overnight
Update: Everything should be back up now. Thanks!
Just a heads up that some brief downtime to Phoronix.com is expected overnight during the replacement of an NVMe drive in the RAID array for this web server.
Starting at around 1:00 AM PST / 4:00 AM EST / 9:00 GMT, the main Phoronix.com web server may be down for up to one hour. One of the drives in the RAID array is indicating its SMART estimated endurance has been exhausted. Unfortunately, it's an internal NVMe solid state drive and thus powering down during the replacement rather than hot swapping.
But hopefully all goes well with the replacement in the HiVelocity data center and their technicians that the server will be back online soon thereafter.
Rather than running out of my benchmarking lab, Phoronix.com and related web properties continue to be hosted on bare metal hardware at HiVelocity.net for more than the past decade.
See you on the other side.
