One of the servers used for running mirror.franscorack.com will enter maintenance at a later date this month (estimates ~ April 25th). Multiple drives in multiple ZFS pools are currently dying, and instead of simply replacing those drives, the server will be upgraded to a single new bigger storage pool. Why the change? The storage comes from my old NAS and the current pool config is all over the place (There are 6 pools in total). The changes will remove complexity, improve reliability and consistency as the new drives are all of the same model and upgraded from a mix of desktop & NAS (even some laptop drives, I have no idea why I did this) class to fully enterprise-class SAS drives. More precise dates will be announced when the delivery date for the new hardware gets closer. Impact on mirror.franscorack.com: - Moderate performance degradation during the operation (3 GBPS -> ~1GBPS, caused by slower storage). Note: The mirror will not go offline during this operation since there is a loadbalancer in place that will redirect all traffic to slower but working servers (2 in total).
