Hello all,

On Monday 13th from 8 to 10 UTC there will be a maintenance window for Toolforge NFS. We will be striving to minimize the user-facing NFS outage and its related services. This maintenance window affects all tools with NFS access enabled, the bastion servers and tools-static hosted files. Tools using build service images without NFS mounts [0] will not be affected.

The maintenance window will be used to upgrade the Toolforge NFS server to a Debian Trixie VM, bringing more than two years of Linux development. The upgrade, while part of the regular OS lifecycle, is also aimed at narrowing down the NFS-related problems within Toolforge. Please see [1] for more details.

best,
Filippo
