The NFS file system on hypercube had some kind of problem that meant that it
has been running very very slowly for the past few weeks.  Because of this
the synchronisation was not not keeping up.

It was offline but someone wanted to use it as a basis of a class project.
I enabled it so that they could at least have some data even if it was a
little stale.

xapi will always provide the planet date as an attribute of the <osm>
element, so if your application needs very fresh data then you can always
check this field.  This seems to me to be a better solution than just taking
the service offline when it gets more than some arbitrary time behind.

The good news is that the file systems on hypercube seem to have recovered
from their problems, the database is rapidly catching up and should be fully
up to date by tomorrow.
