23 Feb '10

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Plimpy maintenance reboot' Our terminal server plimpy (uptime: 80 days) is slowly clogging up with runaway processes, eating up memory and CPU. Since we cannot tell apart good processes from bad ones, we schedule a maintenance reboot for tomorrow, Wednesday February 24 at 18:00 in order to give the system a fresh start. We ask all users to save their data and log out of their thin clients.

[ISG News] Mail Server Migration Part 2: Mailing Lists
by Axel Beckert 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Mail Server Migration Part 2: Mailing Lists' On Thursday, 18th of February 2010, starting at 5pm there will be a mail service downtime for migrating the D-PHYS and FIRST mailing lists to the new mail server. During the downtime, no new mail can be sent or received and neither access to the mailing lists' web interface nor to the archive will be possible. E-mails sent to D-PHYS during the migration will be held back on the sender’s e-mail servers. Already received mail will be still accessible via IMAP or POP3. Together with the mailing list migration, there will come a policy change with regards to mailing lists: All future mailing lists will be only "@lists.phys.ethz.ch" instead of "@phys.ethz.ch" as before. Already existing mailing lists will be reachable under both, old "@phys.ethz.ch" or "@first.ethz.ch" as well as new "@lists.phys.ethz.ch" addresses. The web interface of the mailing lists will change from https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist and https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/admin/mailinglist to https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/listinfo/mailinglist and https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/admin/mailinglist. There will be redirects from the old addresses. In future, https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/ will be for webmail only. If you use e-mail filter rules for one of those lists, please notice that in all mailing list mail headers (i.e. all those headers starting with "List-" as well as the "Sender" header) the list's hostname will change from phys.ethz.ch to lists.phys.ethz.ch, too. Please adjust your filter rules appropriately.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Maintenance downtime of a group server' Monday morning, February 8th 2010, we have to replace a broken system harddisk on one of the group fileservers. This will cause a downtime between 07:00 and approximately 07:30. This will result in a short service interruption for all groupdrives! To protect you from losing or corrupting any of your files, it is best to close all open files on the group directories.
