[12:17] <dandersson> ping mirrors.ubuntu.com -> PING mirrors.ubuntu.com (91.189.89.32) 56(84) bytes of data. -> From bond0.erlking.canonical.com (91.189.88.171) icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
[12:18] <dandersson> Is the above a known problem? We are seeing issues connecting to mirrors.ubuntu.com. Sorry if it has already been mentioned in the channel, but the topic said "Known issues: -".
[12:21] <barryprice> dandersson: the server's being physically moved, sorry - I'll update topic
[12:23] <tomreyn> would it make sense to track the state of the mirrors.ubuntu.com (just this one) on https://status.canonical.com/ ?
[12:26] <barryprice> I'm not sure offhand what the criteria would be for inclusion, a mirrors.u.c outage should be fairly low impact?
[12:27] <dandersson> Any approximate time when it is expected to be finished? (Order of magnitude is fine -- minutes, hours, days, weeks, ...)
[12:27] <barryprice> couple of hours if all goes well
[12:30] <dandersson> Great, thanks!
[12:34] <cjwatson> mirrors.u.c is probably worth including on status.c.c since it's somewhat user-visible - I'm not sure how widespread client configurations are that use that directly, but some definitely exist
[12:34] <dandersson> I noticed it since we have a certain scheduled installation test that uses mirrors.ubuntu.com to select a fast and working Ubuntu mirror. I guess our intention was to not rely on a certain mirror always being up, but instead have a working one chosen, but if the mirror list itself is expected to have lower availability perhaps everyone is better off if we hard-code a mirror instead.
[12:35] <cjwatson> mirrors.u.c being moved today is a fairly unusual event
[12:35] <cjwatson> We don't shut down datacentres all *that* often :-)
[12:36] <cjwatson> And in normal circumstances it's a very simple service to keep running, basically just an Apache and a few scripts to update the lists
[12:36] <dandersson> Yeah, we have had this test running for close to four years, and I remember only one major issue with it before, so it is not something that has been a problem :-)
