That's a function of a nearly seamless upgrade of our HW RAID5 / array
powered by a 3Ware IDE controller to a SW RAID1 2TB / array controlled by an
8-port SATA SuperMicro controller. I say 'nearly' because in the change from
CentOS back to Debian (done because we had no volunteers take us up on the
offer of helping with the more familiar CentOS stack), I have not done
something right.

My focus through this morning, when Ubuntu finished synching from OSUOSL,
was getting Ubuntu live for the Lucid releas, and making sure the other
distros we officially mirror, Debian, FreeBSD, Arch, CentOS, and Ubuntu
(again) were operating. Now that this is done, l'll take a look at and learn
what I don't know about why we are no longer responding to your IPv6
requests. I have not made changes to our DNS.

I apologize for the IPv6 interruption and will soon have it restored.

At your service

fyi - The HOSEF mirror now has a 2TB SW RAID1 array with a hotspare
comprised of Seagate 5400 rpm 2TB SATA drives. At the time of upgrade last
week our current mirror's 2TB HW RAID5 array was running degraded, and the
fan cooling the drives had failed. I replaced the fan, replaced the degraded
drive, replaced /, replaced the power supply, and began rebuilding Ubuntu
and offloading our overtaxed mirror array.

I am still looking for someone who is physically closer to the server and is
willing to keep the coldspare motherboard, power-supply, RAM, controller,
and drives for future maintenance. I live in Ewa, and the logistics, and
parking fines, beg for on-campus cooperation. We have capacity to add 5 more
SATA drives if anyone is willing, and the 5400 RPM Seagate model is ideal
for our needs.
