We still don't have an ETA, but judging from the current progress we need at least one more hour. So far all is going according to the plans.

The check took roughly 1 hour to complete, and this phase is expected to take about the same time. After that we have another one hour file system check to look forward to. So far everything is going according to plans. Since we have never done this operation before we can't tell exactly how long it will take, but at least two more hours. We'll keep you posted with our progress. We have entered phase two of the maintenance, which is another full file system operation.

The site will be up for a little longer while a snapshot of the database is copied to off site storage.
