This morning we got news.dotsrc.org online again.
Unstable connection
Our ISP (DeIC, formerly known as "Forskningsnettet") is working at resolving the issue. This is related to the issues we saw last week. Right now it means that we have a cycle of 1-2 hours downtime followed by 1-2 hours uptime :-/
Further downtime and the news server
For a few days we have had some unstability due to a faulty fibre connection at DeIC, however that whas resolved wednesday. But murphy is around. Our electrical installation failed thursday at 20:24 and dotsrc.org (except irc.dotsrc.org) was offline from then until friday at 13:30 where all services except news.dotsrc.org was brought online again. news.dotsrc.org will be brought online again monday but is unfortunately unavailable until monday. We are sorry for the poor uptime the past week and expect much better uptime in the time to come.

Dotsrc offline
Due to an issue in the core of Danish E-infrastructure Cooperation (DeIC), formerly known as "Forskningsnet/Darenet" the services at dotsrc.org except irc.dotsrc.org which is hosted elsewhere, has unfortunately been offline from friday night until today this afternoon. The underlying problem has not been fully resolved yet, so some unstability may occur this evening. DeIC expects to have the issue resolved early Tuesday morning. We are sorry about any inconvenience this may have caused our users.

Planned downtime
This evening we are moving some servers between two racks and installing some new hardware. This means that the mirror service will be offline for about 10 minutes.
Mirror server online again
The server was unfortunately down from 21:55 yesterday until 6:35 today. We apologize for any inconvenience.
New monitoring server
Today we have set up a new external Icinga monitoring server which can inform us of downtime via e-mails and sms's. This should enable us to notice downtime much faster and hence improve the uptime of our services.
New name servers
We changed name servers for our .dk domains a few days ago. In that transition we made an error, which was corrected again, but some users may experience problems reaching the services from dotsrc.org for a period of time because of negative caching. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Switch
Our main switch broke down today, resulting in our services to be unavailable from 8:25 to 11:15. The switch has been replaced and all services are available again.
Back online
We have moved away from a filesystem that was causing troubles, and are now back online and in sync on all primary mirror activities.
