Planned downtime: Server move (2019-02-27 13:00 UTC)

[algorithm]

Hum. The data copy is now complete, and the first problem has appeared. I made the bcache device to use 4k sectors (as that seemed like a reasonable fit with modern storage devices), but apparently the filesystem was formatted to use 512 byte sectors and doesn't support switching between the two. Unless I can change the bcache to use 512 byte sectors "behind the back" of the filesystem, I may have to do the data transfer again.

as expected

Can't even play on my only day off, I do hope my subscription gets refilled for a full week

I don't suppose making a local copy on the new system to save time would work in this case?

Some, but it would still take quite a long time, so I'd like to avoid it if at all possible.

I do think I managed to recover the filesystem in-place. I'll just be running a few tests to verify that.

I read this:

[...] current ETA is about 30 minutes.

and I was so happy.

Then I read this:

[...] I may have to do the data transfer again.

I ran out of things to do IRL

I knew that loftar was going to screw up at least one thing with his fancy filesystem setup...
But good thing if the issue was fixed this fast!

It took 5hr, from 13:00 to make the update, problems occurred and if I assume correctly it will take 5 more hours which will be at 11:00 assuming no more problems will occur, well need to binge watch more stuff I guess =D
[Edit: yea seen that comment at top, retracting my assumption]
