This is a scheduled maintenance on core networking for fixing a protential issue on one of our routers.

Schedule:
- Start Time: 10:00 AM, May 9 (NZDT)
- End Time: 12:00 PM, May 9 (NZDT)

Impact:
Our network architecture includes redundant upstream paths. we do not anticipate any outage or disruption to our services during this change. You may experience routing through alternative paths as we carry out these enhancements. This is a standard procedure intended to maintain service continuity.

One of the HDD's is showing some bad sectors.  We have been unable to resolve using system tools, disk replacement is required.

There may be some increased IO during this process, see updates below.
