Mail-Archive went down this morning arond 6am Pacific time and was
offline for several hours. When I eventually noticed, I went over to
the facility to poke around.  The computer had crashed, with a nice
"OOPS" message from the linux kernel that looked to me like a null
pointer in the virtual memory subsystem. Not that impressive in terms
of reliability - it has only been about two months since the last
reboot, Things started up again just fine - I would have been just as
well off remotely requesting a powercycle.  I upgraded some software
while I was on site, and will probably tackle the kernel upgrade next
time I have a planned maintance window. (i.e. next time I need to add
more storage).
Bottom line: no serious problems, and sorry about the downtime.

Cheers,
Jeff
