The NFS servers used for scratch and maps mounts (/data/project and /home in 
the maps project and /data/scratch in other projects) will be going offline for 
a short time tomorrow 2021-07-01 at around 1600 UTC to move the mounts to DRBD 
synced volumes.  The current setup causes odd issues during failover including 
data loss and stale files left behind. The process taking place is one of those 
failovers so there may be some files that were previously deleted that need 
deleting again present and similar anomalies. 

I plan to reboot the maps project servers to make sure they have their mounts 
and processes restored as best as possible. The scratch mounts should be less 
impactful. If you use scratch, just be aware that it will go offline for a bit 
and will be back with some possible quirks.  After that, the data should become 
far more stable and properly synced between the two systems. The process could 
start later than 1600 UTC if there are sync issues initially as I try to get as 
much of the data as possible transferred.
