Starting yesterday at around 20:30 CET we had a power outage at campus which involved a rather hefty power surge. This resulted in all our machines were rebooted. We're almost back in the air again now. It seems like we didn't loose any hardware which we consider rather lucky considering the event. We'll keep you posted as we get the rest of our services running.
Problems solved
We had some routing issues as a result of the power cut yesterday which have now been resolved and everything should run as before. The power outage is according to information from the power supplier the result of a high voltage fault which resulted in a chain of 8 separate cable faults in the area. Power problems of this magnitude are very uncommon in the area. One of our servers reached an uptime of 1409 days.

News Server IP address change
Within the next few days we are going to change the IP address of our news server.

In general users shouldn't be affected by this change, but if you have been using our news service for a very long time, there is a chance that you news client might be configured to use "

Hardware upgrade for mirrors.dotsrc.org
Mirrors.dotsrc.org has been down for maintenance today between 23:50 and 24:00. Thanks to
DKUUG
we have been able to upgrade the mirror server from 2 GiB RAM to 32 GiB RAM
New IP address for mirrors.dotsrc.org
We have migrated our mirror service (http://mirrors.dotsrc.org / ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org) to a new, faster and more spacious server. Thus the IP address of the service has changed to 130.225.254.116. If you have ACLs in place you should update them to reflect this IP change. In the not so distant future we will add more mirrors since we now have more space on the server. We will post news about this here.

Server running again
The server crash from this weekend has now been fixed and we're running again. The problem was a full file system.
System work next weekend
Because of an overhaul of large parts of our systems some outages is expected at random points in time (sorry, can't be more specific about this).
On the good side of things - after the weekend we should end up with some nicer systems :)

Server crash
One of our servers have crashed. This means that the following services are currently unavailable: project mailinglists, project websites and project cvs. We are working on fixing this issue as soon as possible but unfortunately it will probably take a couple of days. We are very sorry about this downtime and want you to know that we are doing everything in our power to improve on the situation.

Server Recovered
Finally we got the last bits restored from tape. All services are online again, but in case of problems please report to staff@dotsrc.org, then we will fix them asap. Also please check your CVS repositories, the lastest commits before the crash might not have made it to our backup. You will have to recommit. The same goes for mail, any mail that hasn't come through yet, needs to be resent.
