This needs T103265 completed so that we actually have enough disk space to do.

Is a time estimation possible until this will be done and the tiles return to projects like Wikivoyage?

We have now completed the prerequisite, and the restoration process will start shortly. From past experience, this should take between 20 and 30 hours.

Filesystem is created an in place (on a different set of shelves from tools and others) and the copy is now in progress.

@coren That's awesome news. Cannot wait to see these maps being up and showing again. Thank you for your work on this.

This is over 1T done now. The copy is slow because the actual filesystem usage (many tens of millions of small files) is pretty much the worst-case scenario for actual disk I/O since this causes almost exclusively random access.

This is nearing completion, with only some parts of wma/ left to be restored.

It would be possible to make the filesystem available now, allowing code that does not depend on that directory to be running - but that would expose an incomplete restore of wma that continues being update and I do not know how things would react in that situation?

The maps project's NFS have been restored, but it is almost certain that a remount (at the least) is required for instances in the project for them to pick it up.

The instances of the maps project have been rebooted, and properly see their filesystems.

@coren Affirmative. I just checked if the Maps on e.g. Wikivoyage show up again and indeed they do. Thanks a ton for your effort and help! Very much appreciated this is.

FYI: The tiles age gone again. A fix will be nice.
