Connectivity from remote cities to Dallas servers and services will also be affected. While the maintenance window is set for 2 hours, we expect no longer than 15 - 20 minutes of downtime. Customers are advised to disconnect any NAS and/or iSCSI mounts during this maintenance as a sudden loss in connectivity could potentially cause file system corruption and/or loss of data.</p>http://status.slamdot.com/post/87045832http://status.slamdot.com/post/87045832Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:48:00 -0400<p>Upgrading to PHP 5.2.9 on rambi and expresso.</p>http://status.slamdot.com/post/83148452http://status.slamdot.com/post/83148452Tue, 03 Mar 2009 09:52:00 -0500
