I just received notification from one of our datacenters that they will be upgrading a component of the software infrastructure that runs many of our servers. Their maintenance is scheduled to occur over the next 72 hours. Update: The maintenance is scheduled for October 1 between 1am - 8am Eastern. As they complete their upgrades, they will be rebooting our servers listed below.
Avalanche
Blackice
Deluge
Heatwave
Sandstorm
Thundersnow
Wildfire
Each reboot should typically take 5-10 minutes to complete. Worst case, it may be closer to 30 if a file system check becomes required.
I will update this thread if I hear further details or anything more specific around exact times.
Thank you,
Jason

Avalanche is in progress. It's been down approx 30 minutes -- I have the datacenter looking into it now.
Avalanche is now complete.
4 servers remain.

Deluge is the last server still pending a reboot. Once it's complete (at some point within the next four hours), all servers impacted by today's scheduled maintenance will be complete.
