From russell at flora.ottawa.on.ca Fri Feb 12 09:30:05 1999 From: russell at flora.ottawa.on.ca (Russell McOrmond) Date: Wed Dec 1 12:20:48 2004 Subject: FLORA System Upgrades, Feb 12/1999 Message-ID: A few upgrades are in the works for this afternoon (Friday) and this weekend. a) Friday afternoon the 4G disk will be moved from SPARKS (The main server) to FOX (A backup server). Downtime should be minimal (Half an hour) as FOX then takes up the work that SPARKS did previously. b) SPARKS will have a new 9G WIDE SCSI drive installed on it, as well as RedHat 5.2., renamed to 'calcutta.flora.ottawa.on.ca' c) Services on FOX will be split into 'volunteer' services to be added to calcutta, and 'value-add commercial' to be added to 'netshooter.netshooter.com'. UUCP services will remain on FOX. d) netshooter.netshooter.com will, some time next week, be moved into a co-location at Cyberus Online. This will increase the speed of the FLORA volunteer services as this connection will no longer be shared with other non-FLORA services.

The full-text of the article is at: http://russell.flora.org/flora-1998-12-18.html The section mentioning FLORA reads: Flora Community Web (www.flora.org) is a Canadian site based in the Ottawa area. Volunteers run this site, which acts as a Web host for organizations with values similar to their own. Topics are varied and quite interesting.
