Sorry to have to do this, but the Perforce server database is in a bad =
way since yesterday and I need to rollback and rebuild it before we get =
any further. My plan is to rollback to the last checkpoint before the =
crash, manually add the changelists done subsequent to the crash, while =
at the same time upgrading the hardware and Perforce software to the =
latest version. This will not only fix a number of bugs but make the =
migration go more quickly and give us a more performant server in the =
end.=20

John R. is prepping a new system for me and will be online by tomorrow =
morning. As soon as the system is ready I will shut down the old server, =
bring up the new, and then replay the checkpoint into it and we should =
be good to go. I expect the outage to be from mid-morning sometime until =
mid-afternoon, I have no way to gauge the time it takes to replay a =
checkpoint, but it should be pretty quick with the new hardware and =
software.

I will send out an email in the morning when we're getting ready to cut =
over, if there are any questions please let me know.

The cougar team has been impacted the most, and I'm working with them to =
get their environment restored.

Thanks, sorry for the inconvenience.

-Ken

P.S. I suggest you hold your pending checkins if not absolutely needed =
until this fire drill is over tomorrow afternoon.=20
