QST: I'll be shutting down mastodon.hams.social in the next hour or so (around 2023-06-28 11:00 UTC-7) to increase it's available disk space. It should only be down for a few minutes. Please follow here (@smitty, on a different host so not affefcted by the shutdown) for updates.

The process I thought was going to be done around 11am had another step after that process. So it'll be later than originally planned.

Still working on this. Running an fsck before extending the FS now. Stand by.

QST: mastodon.hams.social is down right now for emergency maintenance. It ran out of diskspace. I'm presenting upgrading the VM to increase available disk space, and the e2fsck before running the resize2fs is taking .. a long time.

Follow this thread for status updates.

We are truly spoiled by SSDs, aren't we?

FS resize happening now.

In other news, I am not a fan of LVM... Never have been.

QST! Mastodon.hams.social is back up and running! Thank you for your patience! Check back on this thread for a full timeline of what happened.

This should address the "500 Server Error" problems we've been seeing for the last week or two.

Please boost for visibility. Thanks!
