File server shuffling

From the data center:

On Thursday night, September 20th starting at 10pm Pacific time, we will be shuffling a handful of fileservers for the Randy and Spunky clusters. Each move should take no longer than 15-20 minutes per file server. This is to take inefficiency out of our racks and allow us to deploy even more newer/better/faster file servers! During the time that the file servers are down, your websites and email will be inaccessible, however, no email will be lost. We hope to finish by midnight.

These servers have one or more users on them that will be affected by the move. Please remember, the server itself normally does not crash when a single file server is taken offline for a short period of time.
