Hi!
Most likely we will be running a file system check in the coming hours (maybe 2/3 hours from now, that means 14UTC or after) and need to take the server down for that. I'll send an email to the list right before taking the machine down to confirm (or deny).
In case its a BSD FFS, be aware of eg man fsck: -B Run in background mode. The check program for each file system ......... Note that background fsck is limited to checking for only the most commonly occurring file system abnormalities. Under certain circumstances, some errors can escape background fsck. It is ........................... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ recommended that you perform foreground fsck on your systems periodically and whenever you encounter file-system-related pan- ics. Even if its Linux or some other UX, could be similar even if not documented as such. So if you can afford the time, maybe worth a fsck in foreground. Good luck.
