[smartgroups.announce] Notification of essential maintenance and
upgrading of our file systems.
Dear Members,
The Service will not be available on the forthcoming dates next week.
From: Monday 15th September 09:00am (GMT+1)
Until: Friday 19th September 17.00pm (GMT+1)
This is due to essential maintenance and upgrading of our file systems.
We will be moving all your files to a more reliable storage system.
As a result, after this change:
-The system will be more resilient and less problems should be
experienced.
- In the event of a problem we'll be able to recover the service more
quickly.
- Please also be aware that a mail queue will build up during this
period, which we will endeavour to clear as soon possible once the
service resumes. It would be useful to us as well as your members to
stop any email activity during this period completely. We understand
that this a very long outage period, please be assured that this is a
course of action we do not take lightly.
Please communicate this information to your group members.
Thank you for your patience.
