Hey Guys,
The servers, www2 through www6 will be rebooted tonight sometime between 10:00pm, and 6:00am tomorrow morning for kernel upgrades. Expected downtime is one to two periods of 5-10 minutes while the servers are rebooted. This is to patch against recent security vulnerabilities found in the linux 2.4.23 kernels.
Regards,

currently WWW2 is the first server running the upgrade. It's currently experiencing more then the expected period of downtime due to a FSCK (File System Check). Since the server has not had its filesystems checked for nearly a year, it's refused to boot cleanly without FSCK running its course, thus it will come back online when the FSCK is completed.
