Gna! downtime on wednesday night, memory failure

A failed disk - which was already offline - was changed tonight. While this operation should have been a discrete 10min downtime, a memory module decided to go on strike and prevented the server to boot again at this precise moment. We had to remove the faulty module pair and will live temporarily with less RAM and maybe some performance penalty.

The outage started at 18h45 and ended circa 21h00 EST. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
