For those of you that are interested...
The second new kernel.org server, named, ironically enough, zeus1.kernel.org went into the racks and, shortly thereafter, into production Friday. The only service that isn't served from both servers at this time is mirrors.kernel.org for the simple reason that it's still syncing on zeus1; it will probably be turned on early next week.
As a consequence, all kernel.org services are now round-robin between two hosts. You can also hit a specific host by appending a digit, e.g. ftp1.kernel.org, or mirrors2.kernel.org.
When one server is offline, we'll change the round-robin names to only point to the one host that is in operation.
As some of you noticed, there was a problem early on which made uploads lag behind; it has now been corrected and uploads should be significantly faster than they have been in a long time.
As usual, please report problems to ftpadmin@kernel.org. As far as we know, the transition problems have been taken care of and all should be well.

P.S. Again, thanks to HP for the new servers and to ISC for hosting them. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
