We seem to have run into some issues with one of the NVMe drives the main Lemmy database runs on. It's still being investigated, but we might have to take down the site for some hours later today to transfer the database to another SSD raid temporarily.

Let's see...

Edit: Did some preparation work today to minimize the impact/downtime, but I will do the main work that will require a hopefully short down-time tomorrow. But the NVMe drive in question is probably toast, quite litterally as it seems to have been an overheating issue. The new one will have to have better cooling I guess.

Edit2: decided to wait for some spare-parts to arrive first.

Edit3: got the first spare-part today and the other one should be arriving by mail yesterday... so probably tomorrow (edit: has arrived). Currently a bit busy with other things, but latest on the weekend the new parts will go into the server.

So just as a heads up. The replacement parts have arrived and I will probably find some time on the weekend to install them.

This will mean a down-time of approximately 30 minutes or so if everything goes well.
