Planned OS upgrade

Post by mimzy »   1 likes

I'm planning to upgrade server OS on Sat Dec. 24. This is needed to continue getting the latest security patches.

I want to take some time for this, so FLM will probably remain down for a couple of days. I guess not many people would visit FLM during Christmas anyway...

Admins have backup copies of database and board software, in case anything goes wrong with the server.

I have to install a patch that requires a reboot. Downtime should be within 10 minutes.

As already mentioned, the planned downtime during Christmas was canceled. Next OS upgrade will be after 6 months.

Oh, BTW, I can tell under cover of secrecy that someone is planning a little Christmas surprise...
Spoiler:

About 3900 FLM files with 2 or less complete sources will be shared with fast connection between December 18 and January 1. (Of course, all files would be reshared any time upon request.)

Did I say "6 months"? :shock:

Well, the next upgrade is planned on Dec. 29-30.

In case of unexpected problems, I will post a note at https://mobile.twitter.com/flmimzy

Merry Christmas :D

I'll take this opportunity to give you and the rest of the FLM family a "Happy Holidays" and Thank You. Another year of fine films and good company. Many people have put in a lot of time and effort to make this board work - you know who you are - and it's greatly appreciated.
