Looks like you might have had some problems with the upgrade. Any estimate for its return to service?

Mail still seems to be down.

Please let us know as soon as it comes back online, as I have some important emails to get out today.

Sorry, the maintenance ran very long due to the large volume of tiny files, which I forgot to account for. Normally 60 GB of data wouldn't have taken nearly that long to move between filesystems.

I was looking into bringing the server up with partial data, but I figured that would be even more confusing as some people would not be able to see any mail and think it had been lost.
