Just a friendly heads-up that some brief downtime of Phoronix.com will happen overnight due to replacing a drive in the web server’s RAID array.
Starting around 3AM EST / 7:00 GMT on Saturday, Phoronix.com may be offline for about one hour. CloudFlare Always Online should kick in but the Phoronix Forums and similar will be unavailable for commenting.
One of the disks in the Phoronix.com web server’s RAID array is being replaced in the data center by our friends at HiVelocity based on the SMART information of reaching end of life. So while syncing data to the new disk, some brief downtime is to be expected.
Thanks and will hopefully be back up and ready early Saturday morning for the continued daily flow of open-source news and Linux benchmarking on Phoronix.
