>We were down for about 7 hours while we reconfigured the server.

>The good news is that the failing drive is now out of the machine,

>The bad news is that the old server is still overloaded. We had

>would have helped reduce the load on the server, but we still have
>capacity problems.

>We will probably have to continue disabling server-side includes
>during peak hours until we get the new server online. Sorry about

>We now expect to be bringing the new server online early next week.
