We're going to swap out ms7, the current media server fallback, for a netapp. We'll start this on Friday Oct 5 at 11am UTC, to conclude at 2pm UTC or earlier. This will entail turning off uploads to all projects during the switchover. It is possible that ExtensionDistributor and captchas will be affected during this time as well; other services should be fine.

We rolled back this change after discovering an ownership issue with the rsynced media files that caused deletions of media to fail. We'll try again early next week.

We'll be making our next attempt this Monday. We hope to avoid switching off uploads but reserve the possibility just in case. The maintenance window will run three hours, from 11 am til 2 pm UTC, to give ourselves lots of time to get it done.

It might be smart to run a sitenotice (at least on commons) One of the few occasions where such notices actually make sense in my opinion.
