The hardware upgrade for "files.uvm.edu" that was planed for this 
evening, November 19th, has been canceled.  We now plan to perform this 
upgrade between 9 pm and 10:30 pm on Monday, November 26th.

Configuration changes are planned for the backbone network which 
connects the campus to the new file server hardware.  The file server 
upgrade delay is necessary to prevent additional disruptions in service 
that would take place during this network reconfiguration.
