Today's work have been going mostly well.

Unfortunately certain file system operations take much more time than we
had anticipated and is going to continue running over night. This means
that the downtime is extended until sometime tomorrow.

After the downtime is over I will send out more detailed information
about the changes we have made. Hopefully the improvements will have
been worth the wait.

Good night.
