Planned downtime 5th of March

Post by Moonchild » 2016-03-02, 20:59

The Sync server will be taken down for an extended maintenance window on Saturday, March 5th 2016.
This maintenance widow will likely take the majority of the day, and may spill over into Sunday, depending on the time needed to work on the database.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Maintenance has started. I'll give updates with estimates when available.

Maintenance has been completed - it actually took less time than expected.

Two accounts that were still storing over-quota data in read-only mode have been completely removed.
Several other large-usage accounts with a disproportionate ratio of db rows to data have been cleared of stored data and will have to re-sync.

A reminder that if you are using close to the limit of storage on the server, which is 25MB, to check what you can reduce to make sure synchronization continues to work smoothly.
