Argo Upgrade Time Again

Not sure if you noticed a bunch of websites on Argo being down last night, but they were for awhile. We installed new 80G hard drives in RAID1 configuration that should give us a good bit more reliability (not that we've had problems). They should also be a good deal faster; considering we were running of a single 40G 5400 RPM drive before. The clean-sweep is helpful too; Argo probably hasn't been rebuilt since RH9 and has been upgraded through Fedora Core up to CentOS 4.1, so there was a little bit of cruft left that needed cleaned out. So far, so good; just some minor cleanup to do, but most services seem to be restored. Nothing like a good server rebuild :-).
