Dear Wikipedians,
We're very short on disk space on one of our image servers and have to move the image directory of the English wikipedia to another host. During this migration, the image upload on en.wikipedia.org will be disabled.
The maintenance will start on Saturday, September 6, 03:00 UTC.
We apologize for the trouble caused.
Best regards,
JeLuF
About how long is it expected to take?

About how long is it expected to take?
Depends on *how* big the image directory is - my guess is a few hours, but not being one of the devs, it's just a guess.
Of course, it could just be a quick switchover, get a "slave" image server up to date, then lock image uploads to let it catch up, and then swap the servers over - that'd probabally take all of five minutes.
Like I said, I'm not one of the people who knows, so my guess is probabally as good as anyone else's

How about uploads to Commons?

That sounds about right, I'd seem that they could get that done in a short period of time. - -- Thedjatclubrock
