Board Shutdown tomorrow evening

[WebmasterAlex]

The boards will be coming down at 10:30pm Eastern time tomorrow, Friday the 23rd, for some upgrades. The shutdown is expected to last several hours.
(geek version- we are migrating to a new LUN on the SAN with more drives in order to improve our IO wait times)

Alex, will that improve the load time of the DISboards (including posting)? I don't know about anyone else, but when I've come to the DISboards, it's a bit slow on loading as well as posting. Every other web site I go to doesn't take as long to load.

Thanks

Well, I guess I need to get a life and find something else to do on a Friday night then sit on the DIS

Thanks for the heads-up. I was excited when I thought you meant tomorrow night as in Saturday night. Now I'm bummed because I actually have time to sit here and DIS. Dang.

Thanks for keeping everything updated and trying to keep us from slowing down too much!

But there is going to be a migration going on for the next few hours, it could be slow at times
