[tech] Molmol downtime

[David Adam]

Hi all

I want to reboot Molmol on Friday evening.

There is a newer kernel that needs installing (so that we are running a 
supported version of FreeBSD) and a new SSD that [BOB] salvaged from 
Mylah that didn't appear on hotplug. We can use the SSD as a read cache 
and the new kernel should improve some performance issues a bit.

All VMs hosted on shared storage will experience an I/O pause and /away 
& Windows desktops will stop working briefly. The outage time should be 
about five minutes all told, and I'll try and do it reasonably late in 
the evening, say 9:30?

Thanks,
