mirrors.kernel.org is down because it threw 2 disks in a RAID-6 array and then ground itself to a halt. I'm trying to resuscitate it. Please use mirrors.edge.kernel.org (it's pointing at our only remaining server that is now up, in Amsterdam).

We need more redundancy for these systems. After exiting Equinix, we are reduced to just 2 nodes (and hence, we're now down to 1 until I rebuild the RAID array on the one that's currently offline).

If you can donate us a server with at least 70TB of space and lots of bandwidth, I'd like to hear from you, but it has to come with hosting, as we don't have any physical datacentres any more and must rely on the kindness of strangers to host them.
@monsieuricon a quarter-billion dollar a year revenue, non-public-benefit, organization is asking for free hosting?
@luis_in_brief kernel.org is a charitable organization and mirrors.kernel.org is a community service that falls outside of the main scope of kernel.org duties.
The Linux Kernel Archives

@luis_in_brief @monsieuricon I also don't understand why the Linux Foundation wouldn't easily donate this and more??
@purpleidea @luis_in_brief I can turn it around and ask why are Fedora, OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Oracle and other commercially backed distros still dependent on a network of public mirrors like it's still 1998?

@monsieuricon @purpleidea @luis_in_brief What's wrong with that?

Debian got both deb.debian.org on the Fastly CDN as well as more traditional mirrors.

They help with different routing, the universities or other organisations might be using it themselves and so on.
