[FQuest Alert] NINE Drive Replacement (take 2)

[Terra]

The new drive that was installed into NINE on 3/4/2004, has developed 2 bad blocks that did not get remapped properly...

Normally this is not a fatal condition, however I am not going to take any chances... We will be pulling down the server, in a couple minutes, to swap in a new drive... This will allow us to work on the existing drive offline at low level...

Downtime should be very brief...

Our apologies for any inconvenience this momentary reset may cause...

Take II has been completed and the NINE server is back in service...

Start 1:19 PM ET
End 1:21 PM ET
Total down time = 2 minutes.

Thank you for your understanding and again our apologies for any inconvenience,
Bob
