we were able to get the raid array back in service last night on the XML<br>
data dumps server, and we are now busily copying data off of it to<br>
another host.  There&#39;s about 11T of dumps to copy over; once that&#39;s done<br>
we will start serving these dumps read-only to the public again.<br>
Because the state of the server hardware is still uncertain, we don&#39;t<br>
want to do anything that might put the data at risk until that copy has<br>
been made.<br>
<br>
The replacement server is on order and we are watching that closely.<br>
<br>
We have also been working on deploying a server to run one round of<br>
dumps in the interrim.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your patience (which is a way of saying, I know you are all<br>
out of patience, as am I, but hang on just a little longer).<br>
