Hello everyone,
HP has most graciously donated a pair of DL585 quad Opteron servers
with 24 GB of RAM and 10 TB of disk using a pair of MSA-30 arrays for
each server. The first ones of these servers was officially put in
service today; the next one will be put in service next week. Each
server is in a different ISC colo, connected to the Internet via
gigabit fiber links.
Consequently, we should now see incredibly much better performance
from kernel.org. Huge thanks to HP for the new hardware, and huge
thanks to ISC for letting us quadruple our rack space requirements
from 5U to 2x10U. We'll be saturating those links in no time :)
-hpa
A few additional notes:
- The IP addresses for kernel.org have changed. When the second
server gets deployed next week, most of the kernel.org addresses,
e.g. ftp.kernel.org, will be round-robins. The individual servers
can be specified as ftp1.kernel.org and ftp2.kernel.org.
- *** If you run a service from kernel.org that uses DNS entries
beyond our control, please see the email I sent out; if you didn't
get it, contact me. ***
- The old IP addresses will be turned off later this week.

I don't know - 2.6.12-rc2 has been announced a few hours
ago on http://www.kernel.org , still the patch isn't there.. it
will be hard to saturate links that way ;)

Fixed. It was uploaded while I was still in the process of getting the
upload system set up, and it apparently got recorded as already uploaded.

If you don't mind me asking, what all does this server do/host?
Just curious,
