That's a boatload of downtime.. what's it for? usual backend stuff: server software patches for bugs/exploits, plus clearing the server side caches and such (get rid of phantom prims, ghosted avatars, etc)

Maybe it's got something to do with this: http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=307304 From: someone "* This is to convert our servers from Debian Sarge to Debian Etch. Etch is the current "stable" version of Debian, and will continue to be supported for a while even after the next Debian Stable ("Lenny"  comes out. We need to update so that we can keep current with security updates and the like." * These upgrades take longer than a standard software upgrade. As such, while many regions will be down for a typical rolling restart length of time (a few to 10 minutes), some regions will be down for 30-60 minutes
